We've lost >30% of #wetlands worldwide, ecosystems that provide us essential #ecosystemservices. What do we know about the relation between this #threatenedhabitat and 🦇? Detecting gaps in our current knowledge will help upcoming needs for #batconservation.

I reviewed 116 scientific publications to reveal #knowledgegaps. Bat-wetlands studies have barely increase since 1900, mainly focused on species inventory and habitat use, leaving key topics like #pollution #habitatfragmentation #batmigration poorly studied

Mostly of the studies have been carried out on #developedcountries leaving some large areas of wetlands poorly explored. In order to help #landmanagers and #policymakers we provide a new method to identify high priorities areas of study: Bat Knowledge Index

66% of the studies reported that wetlands benefit 🦇 activity or 🦇richness given the presence of #water and ⬆️concentrations of 🦟and a total of 217 surveyed 🦇researchers considered wetlands as a priority habitat for #batconservation. So, what to do next?

🆕technologies could lead to an increase of🦇studies in open #habitats like #wetlands in the future. 🦇do not have borders - a well-connected #network of researchers should increase our #consciousness of how to #protect these 2⃣ elements of our beloved 🌍
