With the increase of goals to tackle the climate crisis, the energy industry is logically looking for new areas to install wind farms. Similar to Germany, the energy companies in France are installing more and more wind farms in forests
A new download area has been created on the website of the bat observatory. At the moment you can find video animations and posters that are supposed to help distinguish cryptic bat species of the genera Myotis and Pipistellus .
The last workshop of bat markers took place in 2016. In the time after that, it was not possible to organize a meeting, among other things due to the Corona pandemic. The event was supported by the AK Fledermäuse Sachsen-Anhalt
Automated monitoring technologies can increase the efficiency of ecological data collection and support data-driven conservation. Camera traps coupled with infrared light barriers can be used to monitor temperate-zone bat assemblages at underground hibernacula, where thousands of individuals of multiple species
In Switzerland, the Greater Mouse-eared Bat Myotis myotis is a vulnerable bat species with highest national priority. The species is classified as a forest target species because it forages mainly in forest habitats in many areas of Switzerland and Central
For the first time, using GPS-GSM trackers, long-term seasonal flights of greater noctule bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus) from summer habitats in Russia to wintering areas in Europe are recorded. One of the seasonal migratory flights is a record distance for bats
Coniferous forests contribute to the European economy; however, they have experienced a decline since the late 1990s due to an invasive pest known as the pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa. The impacts of this pest are increasingly exacerbated by climate
With the decision of the German Federal Administrative Court of 19.12.2023, the operators of wind turbines have to accept subsequent curtailment of wind turbines. The nature conservation authorities are authorised to issue subsequent regulations in order to prevent violations of
As part of the project “Endangered Data of Endangered Species” of the University of Greifswald, which has been funded by the BfN with funds from the BMUV since 2020, the so-called “BATLAS” was developed. BATLAS is a kind of nationwide
