Kerry shows how traffic noise can have different mechanisms of disrupting bats, and experimentally showed 50% reduction in passes using a ‘phantom’ road experiment #IBRC2025

Tinglei shows La io bats are able to hunt small birds with strong skull bite force, and strong attractant to bird calls #IBRC2025

Daniel Hargreaves shows how to create a ‘bat hotel’ from old houses to increase bar occupancy! #IBRC2025 🦇
