An Olympian bat is peaking the interest of climate scientists after she broke British records by flying a distance of more than 2,000 km from London to the Pskov region in northwestern Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The female Nathusius\u2019 pipistrelle bat was only as big as a human thumb and its wing was marked with a \u201cLondon Zoo\u201d ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bats belonging to the Nathusius\u2019 pipistrelle species typically weigh less than 10 grams are known to migrate from summer breeding grounds in northeastern Europe to warmer areas of the continent where they hibernate in trees in buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bat Conservation Trust UK says that the Nathusius\u2019 pipstrelle\u2019s range expansion is linked to climate change and future changes in climate will further impact this species. With more information scientists will be better equipped to fully understand these effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There have been more than 2,600 Nathusius\u2019 pipistrelles recorded in the UK since the National Nathusius\u2019 Pipistrelle Project launched in 2014 to shed light on their breeding, distribution and migration behaviours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
