🌿WEnR, a research institute of ‪@w-u-r.bsky.social‬, conducts interdisciplinary science on soil, water, #biodiversity and landscapes.
In SYBERAC, they develop systems-based models to upscale local data and assess chemical impacts. #EnvironmentalRiskAssessment #Ecotoxicology

🦇 CS 2A – Bats in Rice Fields: Summer of Science 2025 CSIC monitored 45 sites in the Ebro Delta.
💧 24 authorized + 7 unauthorized compounds in water, sediment & faeces
🎧 Acoustic monitoring & metabolomics tracked bat exposure
🪶 Next: pesticide analysis in bat fur
