Important Notice – change of location and dates for future meetings
Due to issues booking the Royal Society Room from the South Australian Museum, we have been forced to change the date and location of the FNSSA General meetings to the Goodman Lecture theatre.
All General meetings after March will be held at this location on the 3rd Wednesday of every Month, except January when no meeting is scheduled.
FNSSA General Meeting – 7:30pm Wednesday May 15th 2024
Location: Goodman Building, Hackney Rd. Click here for a map
Speaker: Topa Petit (Associate Professor of Wildlife Ecology, UniSA) and Chloé Danis (Science Master’s student, UniSA and Université Jean Monnet)
Topic: Bats, Bushfires, and Blasphemy on Kangaroo Island
December 2019. The first systematic survey of the bats of Kangaroo Island, a biodiversity hotspot, started well. A few days later, the island was engulfed in flames – half of it burnt. Come and find out what happened then and how heroic researchers (that’s us) are piecing together the splintered mystery of the bats of Kangaroo Island.
