If you missed out on my talk today at @NA_bats, here is a poster that summarises the current progress of our work 🦇. #bats #WNS @batslab

White-nose syndrome is a devastating fungal disease of North American cave-roosting bats 🦇. How will bats in the southern hemisphere fair if the pathogen reaches them? doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… | @ConBiology @batslab #WNS

📢New article: Toward solving the global green–green dilemma between #windenergy and #bats conservation. Intl author team highlights the most urgent issues and suggests solutions. Thank you team 🇦🇺🇧🇷🇬🇧🇺🇸🇲🇼🇹🇼🇫🇷 🇩🇪🇪🇺 pic: Wind turbines from🇧🇷 (Paladini) academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…

Fully funded PhD position available 🚨. Looking to resolve some of the negative impacts of wind energy development on #bats. Led by an amazing Norwegian team @UniNMBU and co-supervised by me. protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/aOyyCKQ50C5Z… #climatechange #phdchat #phdlife

Veterinarian Dr Anna Langguth is using her skillset to investigate which infectious and non-infectious threats Australian microbat species might be vulnerable to. Learn more about her research in our latest #ESABlog: ecolsoc.org.au/blog/defiance-… @UniMelb #Microbat #FlyingMammal

Recently, @TomasVCphoto was interviewed by @jenolanmagic to talk about our WNS bat research. Check it out: fb.watch/mzX0Gq1hXF/ | @batslab @AusBats

Fantastic batty discussions yesterday at our Sydney bat research catch up!! So great to hear about everyone's work @batgrrl @batslab @ljgonsalves85 @NicholasWuNZ

Great afternoon hearing about research by @batgrrl, @CaraghThrelfall's lab and @batslab at the inaugural #SydneyBatChat! Looking forward to the next one! Thanks @CaraghThrelfall for bringing us all together.

Great digital abstract of our study, thanks to Remote Sensing in Ecology & Conservation youtu.be/zEG7Bm5OLOk Drone-based thermal remote sensing provides an effective new tool for monitoring the abundance of roosting fruit bats …lpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rs…

Acoustic loggers from @FaunaTechAU are being deployed near cave entrances across NSW! The car batteries they are connected to will last the whole winter @batslab @AusBats

Awesome video by @TomasVCphoto from our recent infrared recording of bats emerging | @batslab #WildOz

Very excited to be out in the field with @batslab this coming summer!!! Many 🦇🦇🦇 to come!

How did the Black Summer fires of 2019/2020 affect the rainforest inhabiting, spider plucking, bird nest sharing, Golden-tipped Bat? Not particularly well. Clicketty click the link for the open access article. meridian.allenpress.com/australian-zoo… @ljgonsalves85 @batslab @GoldenTipped

Talk 1 - Prof @JustinWelbergen kicks off our 8 talks, talking about the @AusBats and #PacBat - Pacific Bat Conservation Network 🦇 #communityengagement #communityinvolvememt #batblitz

Our ABS President shares research on the emerging technologies we can use to monitor highly mobile #flyingfoxes. Data suggests necessity of urban habitat #conservation, which provides #bats w/ stable foraging resources among pressures from: #urbanisation #bushfire #heatstress

The second paper from my masters is out! We compared ground counts of the number of flying-foxes in colonies across urban Sydney to counts derived from aerial thermal imagery with some surprising results. doi.org/10.1071/WR21120

Here's a piece I wrote for @CosmosMagazine explaning why grey-headed flying-foxes are one of the many, truly excellent, bat species we are lucky to have in Aus as part of #AusMammalOfTheYear cosmosmagazine.com/nature/amoty/g…. Link to vote for them (or another 🦇!) at the bottom of the page

I recently joined @westsyduhie to look at how Aussie bats 🦇 may respond to the white-nose syndrome with @batslab. Follow me to stay up-to-date on this research & many more others! #ThisisMyScience #PlanetEarth
