  • While @AugustWest@lemmy.world provides an anthropogenic use for bat boxes, they are widely used in conservation.

    Disturbance is putting a lot of pressure on bats. White nose fungus is also hammering bat populations. Anyway, bat boxes are artificial refugia - simulated habitat. These boxes, like other artificial refugia, such as bee boxes, need to be pretty carefully designed so they don't do the following:

    • thermally stress the animals - they won't use them, or they'll die if they freeze or fry in them
    • act as traps - predators are smart, and will exploit poorly designed refugia
    • promote disease, in the case of bee or bat boxes - refugia can be any shape or size, but ones that encourage multiple animals to use them can cause mortality through spreading disease

    In general, refugia are at best temporary spaces while ecosystems recover from disturbance and natural habitat re-establishes. This is hard in the case of bats, because they need tree crevices (found in older trees) or rock outcrops and the like.

    there's some really cool papers out there on artificial refugia, if you want to nerd the fuck out about it. Cowan, did some great work around them. He's a cool dude, and was super pumped to hear how his papers were being considered from a reclamation standpoint when I reached out to him: https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/csp2.204

  • Two part comment:

    I don't think you should have to answer to anyone, but at the same time don't sell yourself short.

    Humans are social creatures by nature - even if you're very introverted like me, you do need some sort of connection. In your case, it may not be connection you need, but build some redundancy in a system that works for you.

    One of the things that I noticed as my 30s came and went was how situational friendships and relationships are. Most people you meet in life are just passing though your story. Very few stick.

    I also realized how little effort most people put in to friendships. I'm always the one trying to maintain. They have my number but the phone never rings for the most part.
