Happy #BatWeek2024! Bat houses are good for some bat species. If you want to provide good roost habitat for bats - include at least 2 or 3 or more boxes that offer a variety of roost temperatures. Bats like choices! #GoldilocksBats #Bats #BatHouses

Happy #BatWeek2024! Bats need a variety of roost sites with >temp variation. Bat box design can create gradients of temperatures, number of chambers, size of box & exterior colour are all important. See doi.org/10.7944/P99K4Bโ€ฆ for best practices for bat house management in NAm.

Happy #BatWeek2024! Bat houses should be installed before the loss of a building roost but if not, install asap after a roost loss. See doi.org/10.7944/P99K4Bโ€ฆ for best practices for using bat houses in North America. #BatHouses #BestPractices #RoostLoss

Happy #BatWeek2024! Do you have a bat house? Does it overheat? Or no bats? Best advice is to leave it up & add a few more boxes (within 100m) to give bats options if they have to move. Empty boxes may be important during portions of the year. See doi.org/10.7944/P99K4Bโ€ฆ for BMPs

Big Brown Bats are found across North America. Arguably one of the "work horses" consuming pest insects like beetles & moths that benefit farmers across the continent.

Happy #BatWeek2024! Bat boxes favour a couple of bat species over others. Maintaining old trees in natural areas is a better way to provide roost habitat for bats. Bat community structure can shift with too many bat houses present. See doi.org/10.7944/P99K4Bโ€ฆ for best practices

Happy #BatWeek2024! Not all bats use bat boxes! Our team is working on a more natural alt-roost for bats. Several bat species have been found to use these roosts (inc spp that hate bat boxes). Currently we monitor temp, spp, & bat #s at these experimental roosts. See wcsbats .ca

Did you know thousands of bridges across western Canada are used by bats? ๐Ÿฆ‡ We've been examining how bats use these structures and sampling at these sites to monitor and better understand these populations Alberta Bats #CountdownTo2025

#Infographic! Have you thought of the skies being like an ocean? The study of airspaces is called "aeroecology". Bats, birds, &insects use windcurrents for large scale migration pathways. Lots going on up there! We don't think of conservation of "airspace" (but maybe we should)
