We are recruiting a lab manager at the University of Montana! Come join a growing, dynamic wildlife disease genetics lab in the pursuit of understanding and finding solutions to wildlife diseases, including white-nose syndrome in 🦇🦇🦇! docs.google.com/document/d/1_V…

Giving a talk at 2024 White-nose Syndrome Virtual Meeting on Development of a Mycovirus Assay for Improved Sensitivity of Pseudogymnoascus destructans Detection. Many thanks the organizers! - via #Whova event app

@HonkIfUrHoary @TheAngryOlogist @S_Bassing We aren't, but see @theresalaverty! We will be hiring a lab manager and field supervisor :) Stay tuned.

@TheAngryOlogist @Jkbetsch @S_Bassing Do they need a master’s student?? 😭

More than excited to announce that we're recruiting a 4- year postdoc at the University of Montana focused on eco-evolutionary modeling of bats affected by White-nose Syndrome! See here for details drive.google.com/file/d/1dFDgAp…

@theresalaverty @NSF Congratulations!

Another paper from the Bats of Kenya project with Bruce D Patterson. We report an additional species for Kenya and continental Africa...range extension for the Persian Trident Bat, Triaenops persicus . But we also have African trident bat, T. afer

@emhasselquist mycovirus infection?

Help?! Why are our Craterellus tubaeformis sometimes turning black when dried?! The ones on the right were dried in the same batch as those on the left. #trattkantarell #yellowfoot #northernswedishproblems

Very happy to see our paper out at last with my amazing colleagues @UCLCBER @ZSLScience @imperialcollege - we provide a clear link between the way we degrade our landscape and the hazard from future disease spillovers from animals nature.com/articles/s4158…

Cross-species disease transmission on your mind? Then I have a treat for you! @Jkbetsch's new paper is out on CDV in Serengeti lions. It's viral phylodynamics, it's evolutionary forensics, it's a great paper shedding new light on an old story. See it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Our paper on canine distemper virus spillover in Serengeti lions came out this weekend in early access at @molecology, doi.org/10.1111/mec.15… !
