A new social media post on marbled polecats from the Ukrainian front has received a lot of attention.
Eastern Ukraine is a hotspot for the species. Let's hope the populations are not severely impacted by the war. 🐾

🚨We were very excited to find this lovely bat in our boxes last week. At 18 years old, we believe she is the oldest Bechstein's bat recorded in the UK. She was first seen as a juvenile in 2005 and has had 10 pups since. 🦇🌳🦇 #bats #CitizenScience
Thank you to our bat box monitoring volunteers for helping to monitor barbastelles in the Malvern Hills and Bechstein's bats in Dorset. Last photo is a recent highlight for the team when they caught VWT's oldest Bechstein's bat on record, known to be 18 years old.

😱 This would have been an interesting sighting to add to our study! We found that eastern Ukraine is a hotspot for marbled polecats, it's good to see people still looking after them. rdcu.be/c8xAu @MammRes @vincentwildlife @LizzieCroose
🚨 Excited to finally publish our paper on the marbled polecat aka the funkiest mustelid in the world.
Read the paper: rb.gy/fiutug - DM for a copy🐾

📣New blog!
Read how @BatPatWright used forensic science techniques to develop a new method to age bats. Developed on the rare Bechstein’s bat, this will help understand population structures and inform conservation plans.

🦔 Our latest paper on hedgehogs (aka 'prickleback urchins' in old Sussex) is out! 🦔 bit.ly/38swU3S
We created an interactive map so that anyone can zoom into their street to see if they live in a high risk area. mammal.org.uk/science-resear… #HogsOnRoads
🐻📷 We had a nice surprise when checking the camera trap on the last day of the @SussexLifeSci tropical forest field trip in #Ecuador! 📷🐻 #bear #paddington #mammals #cameratrap #wildlife #wildlifephotography #santalucia
🦔 Does anyone know of a good way to remotely store and access from shiny 5GB worth of map tiles for free? We want to create interactive maps with #leaflet and #shiny. #rstats #GIS #mapping @LeafletJS @Mapscaping @rstudiotips 🦔
🦔 Our manuscript on #hedgehog #roadkill has been accepted for publication @thePeerJ. It will be ready soon, so stay tuned!! 🦔
#DYK that we've been working with @PTES, @hedgehogsociety & @ProjectSplatter to map hotspots of #hedgehog #roadkill to inform targeted mitigation measures? You can find out more in today's #MammalWeek blog by @BatPatWright 🦔 ow.ly/zeEj50wRjxv #HumpDay
That feeling when you finally resubmit a manuscript after going through all the comments... 🚣♂️ 🔊 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #sciencetwitter
🦇 Huge honour to receive the Vincent Weir award from @_BCT_ , but none of it would be possible without the support of an amazing team! 🦇
