The fifth cull of the #Mauritius fruit #bat in five years. Cull has been does not reduce damage to seasonal fruits. Netting does. Pushing a keystone species closer to extinction jeopardises efforts to conserve native forests and its associated biodiversity

It's #batweek🦇! Bats play vital roles in ecosystems.Yet, they're declining nearly everywhere on the planet. They're imminently threatened by habitat loss, pesticide
over-use,climate change, persecutions and much more. 🦇

Acoustic data can help monitoring bats, including at their roosts. Another great study and hopefully many more to come all around the world!

Poster presentation for #ObservatoireDelEnvironnement organised by @University_MU, @Environment_MU.
Poster is more about research being undertaken rather than results (not yet in, given that project started only in July last).

Omnipresent but extremely elusive, noisy but sometimes undetectable, weird face ears and lips but extraordinarily beautiful... I am really glad I finally managed to take a decent picture of one of my favourite Mediterranean bat species #bats @SECEMU_ @BatConIntl @_BCT_ #ratpenats

1/5 #WBTC1 #BatLand2🦇Bats are excellent bioindicators of the ecosystem health. But how can we explain this to land managers and stakeholders in a single user-friendly and clear number or plot? We propose a set of ecological indices to describe environmental and climatic changes.
