Ksenia’s work has traditionally been devoted to the long-term dynamics of the content of stable hydrogen isotopes in bats fur, as a reflection of their migratory status.
The work presented by Olga is new to Ukraine and is dedicated to heavy metals and bats, more specifically, the potential negative impact of these pollutants on animal health. At the moment, potentially dangerous doses are not found.
The conference was attended by 106 scientists. It placed on the island of Frauenkimsee (German: Frauenchiemsee).
