🤗🤗🤗 We welcome Maike Bonacker, Lisa Jung, and Eva Orpel as new members @Mol_Ecol @uniinnsbruck !

They do their master theses as a team in an #urban #ecology project in #Tyrol/Austria.

Using #BatDetectors and nets, they inventory the #bats of Innsbruck to analyse species composition as a function of the #hemeroby gradient, from forests to city center.
