Information for bat conservation
Emerging infectious diseases can become a serious threat to wildlife, a well-known example is white-nose disease, in which the cold-loving fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans attacks bats during hibernation, penetrating the skin and causing damage. In North America, the disease has already
The Federal Association for Bat Conservation Germany (BVF) has published a new position paper on the expansion of the use of wind power (in GERMAN) , in which the weighing of protective goods in favor of the interests of renewable
Hibernation allows species to conserve energy and thereby bridge unfavorable environmental conditions. At the same time, hibernation imposes substantial ecological and physiological costs. Understanding how hibernation timing differs within and between species can provide insights into the underlying drivers of

Due to the globally widespread SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV 2), which causes the disease Covid-19 in humans, there are still concerned questions from citizens in Germany to people working in bat protection and bat research. The reason for the concern
Remote sensing systems have become important survey tools for automatic wildlife monitoring, and their rapid improvement in recent years has transformed ecological research and biodiversity conservation. At bat hibernation sites, infrared light barriers and camera traps with flash offer an
Der NABU Sachsen lädt herzlich zu den ersten sächsischen Fledermaus-Fachabenden ein. Praktisch aus dem Wohnzimmer präsentieren regionale Fledermaus- und Naturschützer Ergebnisse ihrer Arbeit sowie gewonnene Erkenntnisse. Die Vorträge führen von der Landschaft des Erzgebirges bis hin zu den Plattenbauten in
Ein anschaulicher Dokumentarfilm, in dem weltweit bekannte Fledermausforscher und -forscherinnen über ihre aktuellen Studien berichten. Insbesondere wird auf das Thema “Fledermäuse und Corona” eingegangen, und was wir von den Tieren für unsere eigene Gesundheit lernen können.
In this study, the spatial behaviour and habitat use of the two sympatrically occurring long-eared bat species Plecotus auritus and Plecotus austriacus in Havelland (Brandenburg) was investigated. The data collection was carried out in the period from 2013 to 2015
Worldwide, a large number of bats are killed by wind turbines, but the specific demographic consequences of mortality from wind turbines are still unclear. In the current study, the characteristics of the Nathusius pipistrelles (Pipistrellus nathusii)killed at wind turbines were
