🦇🦇🦇Find out more about how I was able to tell which bats were in my loft, thanks to Ecotype Genetics, on my latest blog post!
Such exciting technology! 🦇🦇🦇

Survey season must be underway - we have samples coming in thick and fast! This year we have partnered up with Ecologi 🌍 to fund the responsible planting of one tree for every 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 that is sent to us via the order form on our website😊🌲🌳🦇🐭 bit.ly/3UPNrbr

Our mixed species analysis can detect whether droppings from multiple #bat species are present in a sample, without having to analyse one dropping at a time - making it a more efficient, cost-effective and informative option compared to traditional DNA sequencing methods.🦇🙂

We're on the lookout for the Greater-White Toothed shrew, and we need your help! 🙌

Our Searching For Shrews Project helps us to monitor the distribution of small mammal populations in Great Britain 🐭

The Bats in Churches surveyed 753 churches (red dots on the map)!! Thank you to everyone involved! #swbatconf

Deployed the last radiotags of the season today. This lovely fluff-ball stayed asleep while we put on her tag (using glue designed for attaching human stoma bags). We will be tracking where she goes to feed over the next 5-6 weeks until the tag drops off 🦇 💤 Wildlife Technology Problems

More Horseshoe #bats on the tellybox tonight! Great piece on BBC South East with Vincent Wildlife and Sussex Bat Group! 🦇

Great to see the Horseshoe #bats starring on #countryfile this evening🤩🦇 If you found that interesting you should follow our co-founder Fiona Mathews for more interesting Horseshoe bat facts and cute photos!

Deadline 9th Jan for funded PhD on #bats , #shrews and #hedgehogs controlling insects in orchards and vineyards in UK with Dr Francis Wamonje and AvalonFresh, Everflyht and Ecotype Genetics. (International applications welcome). Info here: southcoastbiosciencesdtp.ac.uk/project/can-fr… South Coast Biosciences DTP

🚨We're calling for increased recording of small mammals, in particular shrews, to monitor the distribution of the Greater White-toothed shrew in Britain🚨

This gave us a proper giggle in the office this afternoon!🦇 Is BatTok a thing!? #BatsOnTikTok

Always a pleasure to help out!🧬🦇 Surely this find must be rewarded with an instant PhD pass!? No viva required😀

📢The results are in... Alcathoe bat confirmed in Herefordshire by Ecotype Genetics! The bat was caught whilst searching for Barbastelles for @Kezomalley's PhD. Alcathoe breeds in the southeast of England and Yorkshire, but with increasing records, where will we find them next?

Want a fully-funded PhD with me? Interested in resolving some of conflicts between farming and #wildlife ? Assess role of bats & other mammals (hedgehogs, shrews etc.) in controlling pests in commercial orchards and vineyards. tinyurl.com/3xsbt6h9 🍷🦇🍎🦔 South Coast Biosciences DTP

Are you accidentally stopping baby #bats find food?

Please turn off your outside lights and close curtains and let these creatures of.the night feed in your neighbourhood. Now is a critical time as they get ready to hibernate.

GB: Endangered
England: Endangered
Scotland: NA
Wales: NA

Estimated GB population of 1,000. Little monitoring available to judge declines but many roosts with historical records of this spp no longer support colonies.

Fairy shrimps appear magically, in temporary ponds and puddles, and then vanish again Our new Sussex Life Sciences Ecotype Genetics Natural England project is trying to track down where this rare beastie lives using forensic DNA.🎇✨ @PondRiverStream
