3 #WBTC1 #Conserve1 The question is.. how are we framing bats to the public? A review of 266 virological studies preCovid showed #bats were described as a threat for human health in 51% of them but their ecosystem services were generally disregarded (96%)🌍https://t.co/WBqvqEkq3l

This is a really cool interactive climate primer by Kerry Emmanuel. I especially like how it invites you to guess CO2 levels, then shows you the real answer (this technique has been shown to be more effective than just showing the real answer) https://t.co/EjA5RxQZkn

Bats versus Spiders, Tit-for-tat.
Some bat species (e.g. Myotis emarginatus) mostly feed on spiders (10's of species). doi:10.4404/hystrix–00189-2019

But there are also spiders eating bats (though apparently rarely). doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0058120

How should we bid farewell to the 2020 #BatAppreciationDay? Probably remembering those bat species that are not amongst us anymore. And remind us how much work we have in front of us to stop global defaunation :) Drawings by @WorksEva

Don’t Blame Bats or Pangolins. Human Actions Caused the Coronavirus - Yes! Magazine "these zoonotic diseases are linked to environmental change and human behavior." https://t.co/ys1I7uolAq

[Daniel Streicker @DanielStreicker]

Wondering why bats have so many zoonotic viruses? Our latest suggests a numbers game - no evidence of disproportionate zoonotic risk from any bird or mammal group, but reservoir groups with more species have more viruses and more zoonoses @NardusMollentze https://t.co/kwuyaalecS

Hvala @koronavirus_hr na dijeljenju ovako važnih informacija. 🦇 VELIKO hvala što nam pomažete zaštititi ove strogo zaštićene vrste koje se ubijaju i stigmatiziraju i u Hrvatskoj #natureprotection 🦇🦇 #batsarecool #bats #batstothefuture

U nekim dijelovima svijeta događa se ubijanje šišmiša, kao neopravdana mjera za suzbijanje epidemije - ne postoje dokazi kako se virus inicijalno prenio direktno sa šišmiša na čovjeka. @UNEP_EUROBATS @BonnConvention

More than 140 nations are currently debating the ‘Zero Draft’ text for a #biodiversity2020 framework

The aim is to:
🌱 Prevent #species extinction
🌱 Enhance genetic diversity
🌱 Ensure fair & equitable sharing of nature's benefits.

Read the Zero Draft: https://t.co/94YtLVw2KQ

#Bat fact. Miniopterus schreibersii use to be reported as the mammal with the largest distribution on earth (from Oceania through Eurasia down to Africa). This is no longer true as there are tens of cryptic #species . Tweet pictures of various Miniopterus species, with names :-)

Does interspecific competition in #bats really exist? The new review article by Salinas et al. just out in Mammal Review @Mammal_Society presents state-of-the-art knowledge on this topic. Check it out! @leonardoancillo

Happy International Mountain Day!

Mountains cover 22% of the earth’s land surface and they not only provide sustenance and wellbeing to 915 million mountain people around the world, but mountains also indirectly benefit billions more living downstream.
