Hot stuff! Thermal #drone surveys can be used to determine & monitor the abundance of #FlyingFox camps. …lpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rs… #bats @Wingtags @batslab @ElieDoesEcology
These #FruitBats are on the @IUCN #redlist, & while the attached looks like a firework display, it’s actually a roosting colony of #flyingfoxes. Image
Check out this incredible #drone video showing heat detections over #FlyingFox roosts. #ThermalDrone @batslab @Wingtags @ElieDoesEcology

Later in #ScienceWeek, we’ll be hearing from Taronga’s Terrestrial Ecologist, Dr John Martin (@Wingtags), and his collaborators’ work in #urbanecology, but his focus at the human-wildlife interface means #humanwildlifeconflict is on John’s radar too. Image
The 4 #flyingfox species in mainland #Australia predominantly roost in urban areas (42–59%). And as such they are exposed to a number of threats. abc.net.au/news/science/2… .
Dr Martin’s work with @batslab, @CES_UNSW, @CSIRO on #flyingfoxes demonstrated that while they are threatened, they are not effectively conserved. publish.csiro.au/zo/ZO20086

Because … hello… what could be more adorable than this??

In Victoria, one of the states most ravaged by #AustralianBushfiresDisaster, look at the cases reported to @wildlife_vic in December. Yes – that’s for ONE MONTH!
