It was a team effort @ReederLab @SJPuechmaille @dechmannlab @SchaerJuliane @MNagyBat @WMarkotter, and the message that evidence for bats as reservoir hosts is lacking in Africa is crucial for bat conservation @JulesAtagana @ngambaisland @AVijiji @imakando3
A new #BiologyLetters systematic review shows that robust evidence for bats as reservoir hosts is lacking in most African virus studies. It calls to optimise sampling and conserve bats. Read it in full here - ow.ly/YEQH50Q81RG #epidemiology #Chiroptera #virus

Though being silent for so long (sorry!!!), the network continues to monitor and protect #Eidolon, and we have a lot to do... and that's why this paper is important - we're so excited and happy it's out now 🦇🦇
big day for me, this paper is hugely important. please share : using #Africa as an example we reviewed #bat #virus research and the result is baffling. This is a call to plan bat virus research and present results carefully! doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2023.03… @MPI_animalbehav @ReederLab

How do you find a needle in a haystack?
Or a very rare bat in woodlands?

A recent paper from Ontario has shown that the cost of protecting bats amounts to only 0.42% of annual earnings of wind energy proponents. Migratory bats need protection; wind energy NEEDS to mitigate. This short video summarizes the issue & paper! #Bats #MigratoryBats #Wind

We are dedicated to growing indigenous trees to benefit both people and wildlife. Each year, we plant trees and monitor their growth to ensure they thrive. We aim to achieve a remarkable 90%+ survival rate for these trees at our restoration sites.

Love audience participation! Some of today's answers to our question 'What was the last wild mammal you saw?':
- Lion
- Dinosaur
- Werewolf
Also a great Q: 'Why do beavers have orange teeth?' (A: they contain iron, which makes them strong for gnawing)
