Our ABS President shares research on the emerging technologies we can use to monitor highly mobile #flyingfoxes. Data suggests necessity of urban habitat #conservation, which provides #bats w/ stable foraging resources among pressures from: #urbanisation #bushfire #heatstress – at Austin, TX

The second paper from my masters is out! We compared ground counts of the number of flying-foxes in colonies across urban Sydney to counts derived from aerial thermal imagery with some surprising results. doi.org/10.1071/WR21120

Here's a piece I wrote for @CosmosMagazine explaning why grey-headed flying-foxes are one of the many, truly excellent, bat species we are lucky to have in Aus as part of #AusMammalOfTheYear cosmosmagazine.com/nature/am…. Link to vote for them (or another 🦇!) at the bottom of the page
