How will bats respond to climate change? Our new paper shows that Nathusius's pipistrelles are likely to expand their European range, but most other bats will lose out. Things look particularly bad for the pond bat, which is already declining rapidly. 🌍🦇#bats #climatechange doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

Would be sad if these went. Only been to Romania once but these haystacks across the landscape were one of the things that made the place special & different
As this story points out, they're also important habitats for fauna and flora

Big, biodiverse and beautiful: can Romania’s centuries-old giant haystacks survive modern farming?
Traditional methods benefit hundreds of species but as new agricultural techniques take over, the distinctive haystacks mark a vanishing way of life

Have you read our latest study, just published in #Conservation #Biology? If you want to learn more about the effects of #climatechange on European #bats, you must read it 🦇🌐
Here's the link to the manuscript:
doi.org/10.1111/cobi...
It's also open access; what more could you ask for?

Startling evidence of the dangers to birds and rivers from over-the-counter drugs should be a wake-up call for owners to press for alternatives, says writer Sophie Pavelle

Equally happy to share our new paper!
It turns out malaria's little brother is infecting Myotis bats 🦇 and bat flies 🪰 all over Europe. Definitely an under-appreciated pathogen that deserves some more study and attention.

very happy to share our new paper “Europe-wide distribution and bat-host specific lineages in the malarial parasite Polychromophilus murinus revealed through genetic screening of bat flies” We started working on the project several years ago!

"There has been a progressive decline in fieldwork-based research and education in ecology over recent decades", precisely at a time when we most urgently need a better understanding of how natural systems work. So sad.

Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Do you really need more data?

Many outstanding questions require additional data collection or clever experimental design. However, I regularly ask myself: do I really need more data to answer this question?

Do you really need more data?
A reflection on the urge to generate additional data. We are drowning in data. The generation of new data is nicely illustrated by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which delivers about one petabyte …
