Exhausted legs and happy heart. Ready for @ICCB2023 🇷🇼 after two days of gorgeous hikes on the Virunga Mountain range, where Rwanda, Congo and Uganda meet Volcanoes Nat. Park

Ivana Budinski blew us away with crispy photos and the very clear message that transboundary action is critical for effective bat conservation. @ICCB2023

Interested in #forestloss effects on #bats and their pest consumption in Ghana & Zambia? I will be presenting at #ICCB2023 tomorrow (Thursday) at 4:30pm in MH1 and would love to chat after. So thankful to British Ecological Society & Bat Conservation International for the support to be here!

European bats consume a lot of insect pest species. Excellent presentation Vanessa Mata at #ICCB2023

Around 80% of African bat species are insectivorous, and Cecilia Montauban 🦇🐾 found that many of them consume agricultural pests and disease vectors in Ghana and Zambia. Many shared fieldwork adventures collecting this data 🦇💩🐜

I hit my 3000 day streak on Duolingo Thank you for making education free, fun and available to everyone #Duolingo #DuolingoStreakSociety #LanguageLearning #LearnSpanish

In the case you don't like twitter🧵s (☝️), Mongabay did a press release about our recent article just for you 🦇. I know my opinion is bias, but it's worth 100% your time! news.mongabay.com/2023/08/study-… TROPIBIO Project BIOPOLIS-CIBIO Universidade Porto Biodiversity Initiative @CrinanJarrett Luke L. Powell

3rd day Balkan tour at Petrovaradin catacombs in Serbia 🇷🇸 Wonderful how these historical military catacombs serve the bats now. We found 8 🦇 species here during our work

First desert experience in Namibia before attending the #IUCN Red List workshop and the 14th African Small Mammal #Symposium! Ver much looking forward to all of it! 🦇🏜️🦇🏜️ #phdlife #BatConservation

Another #Nipah outbreak. #Bats again in the line of fire. Let's recall that we've been sharing space w/ bats for centuries. Let's find out where the interface betn bats & humans was breached and come up with solid mitigation measures. Killing or culling bats won't solve problems

📍IUCN Red List workshop this weekend. A huge milestone in the collaborative road ahead to continuously assess the conservation status of African bat species 🦇 . Thank you Ara Monadjem Dave Waldien Tigga Kingston Global Union of Bat Diversity Networks (GBatNet) Rufford Foundation

Finally!!!! I am glad to invite everyone to the upcoming European Bat Research Symposium in Tarragona (Spain) during the first week of September, 2024. Bats, bats and more bats! The conference of the year, in an extraordinary city, on the Mediterranean coast! See you there ;)

The 5th B Chromosome Conference, organized by the Institute for Biological Research Siniša Stanković and the Serbian Genetic Society, took place in Petnica Worldwide, 14-17 October 2023. We spent four successful days together, exchanging ideas and achievements in B chromosome and germline restricted chromosome (GRC) research.

If you go down to the woods today.... Feeling increadibly lucky to have spent an hour quietly watching this Andean (spectacled) bear eating its favourite fruit. FundaciónMaquipucuna #Ecuador Bear Trust International #bears

Almost 800 samples ready for sequencing with help of Bat Conservation International scholarship 🙌🏼. Months of work in tiny little volumes of liquid… from catching 🦇 in Zambia and Ghana, to extracting DNA from samples 🧬, amplifying mitochondrial markers, to preparing products 😮‍💨. Off they go🤞🏽
