¡Nos vamos a Austin, Texas, al Congreso Internacional de Investigación de Murciélagos!: "Movements of Banded Nyctalus lasiopterus in Southwestern Europe"

 Bueno, en realidad no voy físicamente. Va mi nombre como coautor en el resumen.

Será entre los días 7 y 12 de agosto en Austin, Texas, donde el famoso puente con 1,5 millones de Tadarida brasiliensis!!!!!!!! (video aquí)

Será Elena Tena quien presentará una ponencia de nuestro trabajo colectivo sobre desplazamientos de Nyctalus lasioperus.

From 1999 to 2021, more than 2600 greater noctules (Nyctalus lasiopterus) were banded over a large part of the Iberian Peninsula (52% females) and 18% of them were recaptured at least once. Most of the recaptures (97%) took place in the same location of banding with a balanced sex ratio (50% females), which can be explained by the strong phylopatry of this species. The rest of the recaptures showed 15-80 km-long movements corresponding to daily foraging journeys along roosting areas with sparse and fragmented forest cover (87% females). Three additional females were recovered more than 150 km from the banding place, likely related to seasonal migratory movements: Girona (Spain) to Occitanie (France), 240 km; Seville (Spain) to Portalegre (Portugal), 237 km; La Rioja (Spain) to Cuenca (Spain), 167 km. The greater noctule is considered as "Vulnerable" in the IUCN Red List and the Spanish and French legislation, and it is considered as “Data deficient” in the Portuguese law. Some of the movements of more than 25 km took place over deforested landscapes with wind farms where high mortality of this species has been detected. Recaptures also provided information on longevity, with one case of at least 14 years old and another eight cases over 10 years. It is urgent to increase the knowledge on the greater noctules and their movement routes in order to reduce mortality and prevent the location of new wind farms.
