We did a thorough phylogeographic account of the #iconic & widely distributed frog-eating bats (#Trachops) & found evidence of at least 3 #species. Details including a link to the paper here: amnh.org/explore/news-b… American Museum of Natural History #SLaBB #bat

Please share to other groups and posts! 🦇 So I have decided to donate 10% of my royalties to the Bat Conservation Trust for my upcoming joint book with Pelagic Publishing released January 2025 #author #book #wildlife #ecology #lovebats #nature bats.org.uk/support-bats/g…

Winged wonders 🦇 🦅 all set up for the Imperial College London @Silwood_Park Bugs, Birds and Beasts day. Here’s to many kids falling in love with these animals and nature today! #scicomm

My student, Ukea, was excited about her first English presentation at the upcoming EBRS2024 in Spain. Adrià López-Baucells - Connecting Bats & People David López-Bosch Cecilia Montauban 🦇🐾 #bat

(1/5) My new paper “Cryptic Species Conservation: a Review” is now available fully open access in Biological Reviews! So excited to see this one published! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Proudest moment of my career to date: winning the general bat knowledge quiz at the European Bat Research Symposium EBRS2024 😅

One of the greatest initiatives/courses you could ever attend in terms of bat research and conservation in the Global South ;) Global South Bats . Do not miss your chance. Travel grants available!

🦇HAPPY BAT APPRECIATION MONTH!🦇 Why not treat yourself to a bat related treat by submitting an abstract and buying a ticket to our symposium!? 👀 britbats.com/tickets

Do you know anyone looking for a PhD in conservation social sciences? Share these awesome opportunities with the Welsh Graduate School for Social Sciences Bangor University! Potential applicants should contact supervisors to develop a proposal (submission deadline 11th Dec).

Bat box checks with London Bat Group 🦇 were amazing! 🦇 Thank you so much Cecilia Montauban 🦇🐾 and Becky 😊 *Bats handled under licence*

New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻‍♂️ The Welch Lab Royal Society Publishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

#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 SCB 👀🔎shorturl.at/CnQia

New paper out! We found that in pipistrelle bats, social vocalizations carry a stronger phylogenetic signal than echolocation calls, suggesting the former evolve more slowly, while the latter remains flexible and shaped by the environment. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
