The Acoustic Identification of Small Mammals
As static bat detectors have become more widely used, there are now many thousands of hours’ worth of nocturnal recordings captured each year from a vast spread of locations. In the December issue of British Wildlife, Stuart Newson, Neil Middleton and Huma Pearce explore the exciting potential of using such recordings for the acoustic survey of small terrestrial mammals. Head over to the NHBS Conservation Hub for a closer look at this fascinating development in field survey techniques.

Winter Hibernation in the UK
|
|
During the winter months, cold temperatures and a lack of food can make survival challenging for many species. Some animals, particularly birds, solve this problem by migrating to a warmer location where food is more plentiful. Other animals utilise a different solution and enter a period of torpor or hibernation as a way of conserving energy throughout this time.
