It was a team effort @ReederLab @SJPuechmaille @dechmannlab @SchaerJuliane @MNagyBat @WMarkotter, and the message that evidence for bats as reservoir hosts is lacking in Africa is crucial for bat conservation @JulesAtagana @ngambaisland @AVijiji @imakando3
A new #BiologyLetters systematic review shows that robust evidence for bats as reservoir hosts is lacking in most African virus studies. It calls to optimise sampling and conserve bats. Read it in full here - ow.ly/YEQH50Q81RG #epidemiology #Chiroptera #virus

This paper is the product of a large team of amazing coauthors and one that needs to be seen! Africa is just the example!! pls share @ReederLab @MPI_animalbehav @eidolonnetwork @BatConIntl @adria_baucells @globalsouthbats @maxplanckpress @WMarkotter @SJPuechmaille @EmmaTeeling1

Though being silent for so long (sorry!!!), the network continues to monitor and protect #Eidolon, and we have a lot to do... and that's why this paper is important - we're so excited and happy it's out now 🦇🦇
big day for me, this paper is hugely important. please share : using #Africa as an example we reviewed #bat #virus research and the result is baffling. This is a call to plan bat virus research and present results carefully! doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2023.03… @MPI_animalbehav @ReederLab

How do you find a needle in a haystack? Or a very rare bat in woodlands? Our new paper, shows how to use #CitizenScience accoustic surveys to focus search for barbastelle maternity roosts. protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/Ku… @kezomalley @vincentwildlife #bats #conservation 🦇🦇

last in my collection of species portraits for now: this adorable #Phyllostomus ❤️🦇 by @LittleLeapers_ I am hoping to expand! So if you want to draw a Molossus, a Rousettus, a Tadarida or a common shrew or mole - reach out! Best to batichica.blsky.social #swansong #leaving

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/aO… #climatechange #phdchat #phdlife

next up in my collections of #illustrations of my study species is the one that got me my PhD: #Lophostoma, my forever love, the most gentle bat out there. Juvenile male, beautifully rendered by the wonderful @LittleLeapers_

getting more and more uncomfortable here on the musky side _ who else is thinking about switching to #bluesky ? #leavetwitter #switch

here‘s nr 3 of my collection of drawings of my study species: one of my first, since 2007 and to this day, though they‘re more @jenna_kohles now #noctilio. The species I did my first #groupforaging work with. Love love love them ❤️🦇😂 also by @GessingerGloria #sciart #Panabat
