On the need for predictive models in conservation ⬇️
Lots of congratulations to @jackhooker.bsky.social for winning the Vincent Weir Award for contribution to bat conservation and research! 🦇

Eating meat and livestock production is the leading sources of emissions from agriculture. So why is it under-reported? #ClimateCrisis 🌱🌍

Read our latest blog post by @laura-paltrinieri.bsky.social, whose research reveals how temperature and rainfall affect the body size of European bats. 🦇
Laura offers insights into their resilience, vulnerability, and what it means for conservation in a warming world. 🌍

In our new perspective in PNAS we call for a move away from conservation focused on saving individual species to focusing on ecological processes, which underpin ecosystem resilience and the capacity to adapt to environmental change. Led by @josephtobias.bsky.social 🌍🌐🧪

This study was led by Laura Paltinieri, @anabenlop.bsky.social & @lsantinieco.bsky.social as part of the EU COST Action network ClimBats. You can read Laura's blog on this paper here:

Ever wondered how morphology is affected by climate? Our new paper in Ecography shows sex-specific shifts in body size of European #bats in response to temperature & rainfall across space, but no clear temporal changes due to high variability 🌍🌐🧪

So true, not only for academia but also for the conservation/environment sector. Expectations to gain experience through volunteering and unpaid work experience, short term contracts and need to move every few years makes it challenging to stay and succeed if you don’t come from money.
