Fantastic new paper from Eleanor Scerri's group and colleagues, led by Margherita Colucci, "Malaria shaped human spatial organization for the past 74 thousand years": science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our latest📰 where we integrate taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity of cave-associated 🦇 in 🇧🇷. Understanding these 3⃣dimensions together gives a much richer picture of what’s truly at stake for conservation. 📰🔎link.springer.com/article/10.100…

2x PhD projects available at @RennesUniv. 1. Why populations rise & fall: global demography of amphibians and reptiles sfecologie.org/offre/funded-p… 2. Demographic resilience & persistence of ectotherm populations under climate warming sfecologie.org/offre/funded-p… Deadline: 30 May 2026

What does a forest sound like around the world? 🌍🎧 In our new 📄 in Global Ecology and Biogeography we show that forests have distinct 🔊 fingerprints, with clear differences between tropical and temperate soundscapes. 📄🔎onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

🦇 New paper out! In a fragmented tropical dry 🌳 in central 🇲🇽, we used 🧬 metabarcoding to uncover what insectivorous bats eat. Their diet spans 2⃣1⃣ arthropod orders, including major agricultural pests and disease vectors. @Biotropica 📰🔎 doi.org/10.1111/btp.70…

#FridayResearch How did 🦇 evolve powered flight, echolocation, & such diverse diets? A new📄 by @SESantanaM et al. integrates fossils, genomics, physiology, & ecology to uncover the complex processes behind 🦇 evolution & diversification 🌍   🔎 annualreviews.org/content/journa…

Que café más bueno! El Bourbon Rosado es delicioso, ahora a probar el nuevo Java de Ikonoclasta Café @cafe_con_alba

#FridayResearch New 📄 in @ScienceMagazine reveals that greater noctule 🦇 #Nyctalus #lasiopterus ascends to high altitudes, uses echolocation 🔊 to chase and eat songbirds 🐦 in flight. 🔎 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our paper on rodent thumbnails is out! Huge team effort. Turns out, nails can reveal a lot about rodent evolution. Shoutout to Dr. Gordon Shepherd for the wild idea to study their thumbs!

And finally, rounding out our August issue, a Journal Club from Santiago Perea, "Listening to forest recovery" Web link: bit.ly/3UYXVWS

#FridayResearch: 8️⃣9️⃣ of 🌍🦇 are found in at least one PA - but 2️⃣8️⃣ sp (incl. 5️⃣ threatened & 1️⃣5️⃣ DD) occur in none. 🥭🍈 #bats are better represented than 🦟🪲 #bats, and urgent action is needed to protect their ecological roles @Society4ConBio 👀🔎shorturl.at/CnQia
