Team meeting yesterday - sharing all achievements of first year of BATMAN project! Look out for updates soon...

Had an amazing time at the #WildlifeConnections Festival at Chester Zoo with the University of Chester team! 🦇We shared insights from our BATMAN project and why bat conservation is crucial for biodiversity. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! 🌍💚 #BatConservation #LesserHorseshoeBats

My most exciting moments so far in Australia for @ISBE24 have been encounters with flying foxes! A little larger than the lesser horseshoe #bats I work with in the UK in BATMAN Research Lab ...but definitely some behavioural similarities with the Livingstones fruit bats I know well

Enjoyed presenting our Natural Sciences - University of Chester The Leverhulme Trust Vincent Wildlife project at #ISBE2024 - posters so useful for stimulating great conversations & sharing progress. If you've got any questions or want to chat, message/email me - only 2 days left ISBE2024 but lots left to do!

We have successfully completed our first field season!!🦇🌄 Check out the highlights, what we learned and our next steps in our latest blog post! You can find it at: batmanlab.wixsite.com/batman/blog
