Heatwaves took a large toll on Australian flying foxes over the last months. One third of the population of the spectacled flying fox Pteropus conspicillatus is believed to have been killed over a few weeks. Christian Vincenot, coordinator of the IBRG, gave an interview to France's second largest newspaper to explain the ecological implications of these mass deaths.
