Too bad TAG-Net only comes out once a day. Here is what I posted there (which
hasn’t come out yet) after Aughey’s recent post:
Ah, wouldn’t we all hope that were the case! Alas, it is not. Granted, this
is another piece of the puzzle, but even more so it is a glaring case of the
media taking a single report and blowing out of proportion to the context, much
like the recently-touted “barotrauma” ballyhoo regarding bats and wind
turbines. I just got back from the North American Symposium for Bat Research
where both topics received the lion’s share of attention, and believe me, we
are a long way from resolution on either.
