📄Now published in Wellcome Open Research: "The genome sequence of Nathusius’ pipistrelle, Pipistrellus nathusii (Keyserling & Blasius, 1839) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)" by M. Ruedi, M. Mai, E.C. Teeling, S.C. Vernes and @bat1kgenomes.bsky.social 👇 wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/11-...

If you haven't heard yet, the #Bat1K Genome Notes Collection is officially live on Wellcome Open Research! This dedicated collection serves as a hub for the genome notes being published by Bat1K, helping to make high-quality bat genome resources openly available to researchers worldwide.

Our Batellite meeting is on, come join us!!🤩🦇

The countdown is on! 🚀 Our open Bat1K meeting (aka Batellite) is kicking off in just a few minutes! Excited to connect, discuss, and collaborate - join us and be part of the conversation! @hillermich.bsky.social @xuelingyi.bsky.social @orlyrazgour.bsky.social

About a week ago our experimental study on nectar feeding #bats came out in @femsmicro.bsky.social - @alice-risely.bsky.social, myself and other colleagues delayed feeding time to see whether it impacted the gut microbial rhythms in these animals. It did! academic.oup.com/femsec/artic...

#NewPaper #WindEnergy #Bats #DrinkingWater #Ponds Bats need water for drinking but wind turbines may displace them from ponds. Bat activity declined at ponds near turbines. Siting turbines away from key habitats is essential for biodiversity conservation 🦇🌎🧪🦊 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
