It´s a good weekend! Second New Paper🚨
Last year, we organised the first International Weasel Monitoring Symposium. We now published a review on non-invasive monitoring methods for weasels with the speakers and participants, led by David Jachowski

Prof Fiona Mathews of Sussex Life Sciences was on BBC The One Show yesterday, talking about her work monitoring Greater Horseshoe bats 🦇

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/KuVcCA19wUAG… @kezomalley Vincent Wildlife #bats #conservation 🦇🦇
Cool paper by Lizzie Croose et al on the comparison of several methods to detect the European mink. Cam traps & hair tubes had higher det prob, but live traps & eDNA detected the species where the other methods failed.

Thanks to Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme and Vincent Wildlife I'll be working on the sound identification of David’s myotis and the Mediterranean long-eared bat next week - important gaps in the BTO Acoustic Pipeline for supporting acoustic projects across southern and eastern Europe.
😱 This would have been an interesting sighting to add to our study! We found that eastern Ukraine is a hotspot for marbled polecats, it's good to see people still looking after them. rdcu.be/c8xAu Mammal Research Vincent Wildlife Lizzie Croose
Papers are like buses; you wait ages for one, then two arrive at once!
Check out our latest paper, led by Patrick Wright, where we used social media to learn more about the distribution of one of the least known yet coolest mustelids - the marbled polecat!
