Can anyone share a decent guide to Mark-Recapture Analysis for Dummies? Specifically looking for data collection requirements & the subsequent stats. 🦇
I can share codes to #TheOtherPlace in exchange (or just with anyone who wants them, really).

If there's one silver lining from tonight it's that NZ may finally have figured out how MMP works. The Greens, Te Pāti Māori and Act all getting convincing electorate wins on their own merits - ultimately, this is a Good Thing. #nzpol
Write-up of last summer's bat tagging session in Pureora. 🦇Includes cute quotes from bat noob Troy.
Fun story on the "actual madness" of short-tailed bat monitoring in Pureora Forest for Atlas Obscura – thanks Troy Macdonal and Kerry Borkin for sharing some of your mahi with me!

You don’t see this every day. Cross-species spooning on a chilly morning. Sylvie the hoary bat serves as a nice blanket for Amelia the eastern red.

bat conservation phds anyone?
Announcing 2 new #PhD positions in our 🦇lab!
Monitoring bat population trends is hard. In a new project, BatTrend, we will explore both new methods and optimize established ones to help improve monitoring guidelines.
Info about the 2 positions in the 🧵 below. RTs appreciated!

The Critically Endangered Jamaican flower bat has been in population decline for over 50 years. At one point, it was even thought extinct!
Right now, we have a unique and time-sensitive opportunity to purchase the last remaining parcel of land next to their only known maternity cave! This will protect an important “buffer zone” around Stony Hill Cave and keep it out of the hands of developers.
Donate to protect these bats from development. ❤️

Oh cool. Because that's not going to make our publically-owned conservation estate even more inaccessible than it already is.
