1/5 #WBTC1 #BatLand2 Hi! I'm a @DICE_Kent PhD student. How do use riparian reserves in oil palm at @SAFE_Project?
Thanks to @NERCscience @EnvEast for funding this research!

3/5 #WBTC1 #BatLand2 We also found no difference in overall activity between riparian reserves in oil palm or logged forest showing bats can persist in However, bats which used constant-frequency echolocation calls hunted in <
4/5 #WBTC1 #BatLand2 rugged areas are difficult to access, e.g. for logging , & were associated with the presence of 2 Hipposiderid species. It is likely rugged areas provide an indirect benefit to wildlife by providing a refuge for species that require mature forest
5/5 #WBTC1 #BatLand2 We will be answering more questions about how Borneo's bats are affected by #landusechange so please stay tuned for PhD updates And a massive thank you to those who've already contributed!
