Over a month has passed since the last blogpost. The schedule was busy, with an emphasis on installing my automatic scales. The crucial part is for the bats to accept the change of entrance of theirs roosts. For that I gradually modify the roost entrances with pieces of wood and I check acceptance by bats using video recordings. The first balance is expected to enter service this week!
Among other activities, I presented my project to the scientific community of Gamboa and I plan to make a public outreach presentation on bats to children of the village school. I also spent writing the first chapter of my PhD and also on export permits. After acceptance by the future government of Panama, this permit will allow me to export my DNA samples from bats and later proceed to the analysis in Germany. I postponed my departure from Panama two weeks to be able to install all scales. Back in Germany scheduled for mid-July! Meanwhile, more pictures and news on this blog :).
