Rainforest fragmentation is fuelling a tsunami of extinctions. However, not all is doom & gloom. Our new study (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…), suggests that fragmentation-induced ecological cataclysms can be (somewhat) reverted by the regeneration of secondary forests @SERestoration

📢 Higher court issues final judgment in Germany: Old wind turbines must implement curtailment if there is evidence of bat casualties. That applies to more than 18,000 onshore turbines in 🇩🇪, which causes an estimated 250,000 killed🦇per year. Whole 🇪🇺 should follow!

It's December, the last month of the year. Bats are hibernating. They may roost on their own or in small groups, often in cool, quiet places like disused buildings, old trees or caves, where they hopefully won't be disturbed.

Today's bat (and final from my trip to Thailand): Chaerephon plicatus, half a million bats inhabit this cave. They emerge at dusk in a column to feed at night on planthoppers, a desastrous pest insects for rice plants. Keep on doing your good job for people in Southeast Asia!
