Exploring data from our respective African bat diet studies with Laura Torrent 🦇 at BIOPOLIS-CIBIO. Thank you Vanessa Mata for guiding us so well! I look forward to telling you more about the role of protected areas in the pest suppression services provided by bats in Madagascar 🦇🌾🦗

Bats are in trouble. That’s not good for anyone who likes mezcal, rice or avocado theguardian.com/environment/20…

Planning to conduct #ExclusionExperiments in agricultural areas to study #EcosystemServices ?🐦🌾🦇

As part of my PhD, we quantify, for the 1st time in Europe, the #EcosystemServices of #bats as insect pest suppressors in #rice paddies🌾🦇. Bats halved plant damage, saving ∼70 kg rice/ha, which translates into 💸56€/ha

Amazing night in Ankarana Reserve! So happy to meet again with Otomops madagascariensis, one of my favourite Malagasy bats 🦇 We captured 22 individuals of this endemic species, which roosts in caves and probably forages in both forests and nearby agricultural areas 🌾🪰

First bats captured in northern Madagascar are molossid species 🦇 They just need to jump out of the roost to hunt insects around croplands! Will we find agricultural pests in their faeces? David López-Bosch

I've just sponsored Cecilia Montauban 🦇🐾 , who's fundraising for WWF-UK on JustGiving. Yesterday she finished her first half marathon for #conservation , and has raised over 550£. You can still contribute to her cause, to conservation. Donate now😃 justgiving.com/fundraising/ww…

Are the goals of #EnvironmentalEducation the same around the world?
