What did you do this weekend? BCI participated in the San Antonio River Foundation Pollinator Tea Party and watched in awe as artist Audrya Flores created this bat sculpture completely out of bat-related plant parts (like agave leaves, palm fronds, and yucca flowers). This biodegradable masterpiece will live in Confluence Park until it decays.

🦇 Did you know that moths use ultrasound to defend against bats? This fascinating predator-prey interaction shows how evolution has equipped moths with tools to survive in the wild! 🔊🦋 #MothDefense #BatSonar #UltrasoundTech

Breaking bat news: these little bats are incredible!

A bi-national team of scientists has discovered that lesser long-nosed bats are in an elite group of bat species known to fly incredibly long distances. A new study reveals that these bats made overnight flights of nearly 117 miles across the Gulf of California and migrate over 1,013 miles between roosts in Mexico.

🦇🎣🦇 Happy to share our study on 🐟fish-eating 🦇#bats! Our findings reveal, for the first time, that Rickett's big-footed #myotis (Myotis pilosus) consumes marine fishes. It consumes more 🐠fish during the dry season, and more 🦋insects during the wet months.

Meet student scholar Morgan Hughes 🦇
Morgan's project project investigates the habitat use and connectivity of bats in the critically endangered dry forests of Peru 🇵🇪 focusing on how environmental changes and climate dynamics impact bat populations. This project directly addresses global bat conservation priorities by identifying areas suitable for habitat protection and restoration in the face of climate change and historical deforestation.

A esto se suma la preocupante falta de criterio y la ausencia de respaldo en estudios previos por parte de las autoridades para iniciar construcciones en zonas donde habita fauna urbana dentro del campus. #UNALM #DialogoUnalm

Estas son las condiciones de los laboratorios de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina. Lamentablemente, así nos formamos, entre una infraestructura en pésimo estado que pone en riesgo la vida de los estudiantes y equipos obsoletos. #DialogoUnalm

Land managers play an important role in 🦇 conservation, but gaps in knowledge about 🌲 practices and endangered spp highlight the need for targeted education and expert guidance to protect 🦇 populations

NNBG members have been helping with research into Nathusius' pipistrelle migration. It's been a lot of work but we now know so much more about how this tiny bat crosses the sea. Congrats to Jane & Sue for getting this published.

Migratory 🦇 are highly influenced by barrier effects, sex-biased timing of migration and the adaptive use of winds. Understanding their migration helps guide conservation, including offshore wind farm planning. 🦇🌊 #MovementEcology

📢New article: Urban 🦇with more diverse diet than rural 🦇. Also, urban 🦇fed on more than twice as many agricultural pests 🪲 and six times as many nuisance insects 🦟as rural 🦇. Urban🦇 are important for human health! Great job Caro and team!

[All about bats @Bats_Chiroptera]

It can be very challenging to visually estimate numbers. The average of the 7 estimates is 206 while counting on the picture gives 158 individuals (maybe 159; green dot). That being said, counting on pictures is not always super easy either as some individuals can be hidden under
