Did you know a tiny 8g bat can call as loud as a 900kg bison! Check out our new paper in @NatureEcoEvo which sheds some new light on the costs of calling loudly for small bats! rdcu.be/b5AvT @YovelBatLab @IZWberlin #WomenInSTEM @SpringerNature 📸credit @ReneJanssen83

Come join our group! Cool science, great people, and veeery cute #bats 😁

Conversion efficiency of flight power is low, but increases with flight speed in the migratory bat Pipistrellus nathusii: ow.ly/rAEu50Ofrp0 @voigtbatlab @batsinthbelfry #ProcB #biomechanics #ecology

This work was a great collaboration between @IZWberlin and @Biology_LU. Big thanks to @HedenstrmAnders @voigtbatlab Christoffer Johansson & Cedric Aumont

Our latest paper is out! Examining the costs of flight and variations in conversion efficiency in a small migratory bat🦇 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… The bottom panel shows the wake vortices generated by a flying bat- reconstructed via tomographic particle image velocimetry.

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 Out today @RSocPublishing, a project I've been working on for a while and I'm excited to finally share! #Bats, #Whiskers, #Pollination & #Biomechanics (sort of...): How nectarivorous bats use their whiskers, a🧵 1/n royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Our latest paper is out in @ScientificReports, shedding some more light on differences in torpor use in different bats species! rdcu.be/c1Hb9

@DotyAnna Excuse my ignorance, but what's TNR? We have lost our connection with nature almost entirely. Everything is a pet now and nothing can die. Except the animals we eat and what we call pests.... The hypocrisy is ridiculous.

#academia is such a fickle, relentless mistress. The joys of submitting 4 years of work to a great journal dashed within a day by harsh review of an older manuscript. Can't we just have a moment to celebrate?

@ClareStawski @DotyAnna OH YESSSSS

Fantastic news! @batsinthbelfry @DotyAnna trip to visit me?

@GaryBurness @YovelBatLab @LHedh might have some good suggestions. :)

So nice to see the fear mongering doesn't stop at FOX news....😒 Also would be good if your links are up to date so people can access the actual article you are referring to @Nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

This is Australia's most important report on the environment's deteriorating health. Here we summarise our team’s grim findings. #environment theconversation.com/this-is-austra… via @ConversationEDU

This is so cool!

@paintedbat @voigtbatlab @S_VoigtHeucke @IBRC2019 @ibrc2022 Best memories!!

This day, 3 years ago, I watched this exodus of thousands of Wrinkle-lipped Free-tailed Bats in Thailand with @voigtbatlab @S_VoigtHeucke @batsinthbelfry and Supawan. This was in the run-up to @IBRC2019 . Now gearing up for @ibrc2022 !
