The endangered grey long-eared bats were found dead in two maternal roosts in Jersey.
A "whole generation" of endangered bats could have have been wiped out by Jersey's heatwave, an ecologist warned.
Based on their age and the timing, Mr Sangan said it was a "working theory" that extreme weather was to blame. Mr Sangan added: "We could be looking at up to 100% of this year's babies being potentially lost. Basically a generation died from the heatwave." He said the long-term impact was unknown, but there would be adults missing "a number of years down the line".The Jersey Grey Long-eared Project is aimed at studying the species in Jersey
