La rareté des fossiles de chauve-souris est bien plus qu'un simple casse-tête paléontologique, elle a aussi des répercussions pour les stratégies de conservation des chauve-souris aujourd'hui.
The scarcity of bat fossils is more than a palaeontological puzzle: it has implications for bat conservation strategies today.
Cave-specific conservation and protection actions are essential to protect cave habitats for the continued survival of bats, and ultimately, the well-being of humans.
Investigating different factors influencing the behaviour of South African bat species contributes to our understanding of these understudied animals.
