Did you know? Nearly a quarter of UK mammal species are bats! 🦇 In Powys, 14 out of the 18 species have been spotted, including the #LesserHorseshoeBat (Rhinolophus hipposideros). If you know of a site supporting a bat roost, contact [email protected] #Nationalmammalweek



Dr. Kate McAney from VWTIreland spoke with some senior students about lesser horseshoe bat, recently spotted on campus. Students then took part in a post-supper #BatWalk.🦇🔍 #GlenstalAbbeySchool #lesserhorseshoebat #conservation

🦇🦇🦇 Great to meet up today with new and old colleagues from @npwsBioData VWTIreland and Bat Conservation Ire. We discussed monitoring and managing sites for #lesserhorseshoebat. The species roosts in old buildings and there is always work to be done!! 🦇🦇🦇


Successful online MSc defence by Cornelia Röß Molecular Ecology @[email protected] on the role of #PersistentOrganicPollutants and #HeavyMetals in local #extinctions of the #LesserHorseshoeBat Congrats to you, MSc Conny, and thanks to examiners Julia Seeber and Ute Rothbächer! femtech #bats


We welcome Minister Malcolm Noonan's announcement of the #LesserHorseshoeBat Species Action Plan 🦇 In 1989, Professor James Fairley pioneered bat research at NUI Galway alongside his Ph.D. student Kate McAney 🔬 More on bat research via The Irish Times 👉 bit.ly/3pblKuW

VWTIreland Well done ladies #biodiversity #LesserHorseshoeBat

protectBats – new #Interreg project @[email protected]! We aim to identify how #PersistentOrganicPollutants and #HeavyMetals relate to historical extinctions of the #LesserHorseshoeBat and what we can learn for the future. interreg_eu #conservation #bats molecular-ecology.at/protectbats/



We welcome Cornelia Roess Molecular Ecology @[email protected]! She does her master thesis on the role of #PersistentOrganicPollutants and #HeavyMetals in local #extinctions of the #LesserHorseshoeBat in #Tyrol and #Bavaria molecular-ecology.at/cornelia-ross/ #bats #biodiversity #ecology #conservation
