New NSF-funded postdoc opening in our lab - please consider applying - great opportunity to study bats + moths be part of a dynamic research team with Jesse Barber!

#WindTurbines are very noisy. We tend to build noisy infrastructure away from us, but that means that others will suffer. New paper by Yael Lehnardt shows that birds are strongly impacted by wind turbine noise. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… In collaboration with the amazing Jesse Barber

Rassina Farassi has successfully defending her thesis, finished her degree, and is the first Mozambican to earn a Masters in Primatology. Rassina says she is ready to train the next generation of researchers and protect the primates of Mozambique.

Twelve Mozambican students will study conservation biology in #Gorongosa Park this coming year. It’s the only master’s program taught inside a national park. Full scholarships (except for a registration fee) are financed by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. #Africa #Mozambique

Never thought I'd see the day when Wildlife Crossings was formally proposed as a LEGO kit. Then again I haven't touched a LEGO since 1992. bit.ly/VoteWAWCLEGOID… Plz RT to help them get votes, esp. if you are Ben Goldfarb who wrote a wildly popular new book abt road ecology

Do you know what Global South Bats is? They are a group of people aiming to connect and empower bat conservation allies in the GlobalSouth where locally--led research and conservation are most needed. We spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica planning the upcoming activities for the next 5y

#Moth #beer! “Night Life IPA”was released by First Magnitude recently. The can reads, “Turn the lights out for moths”. A campaign to help save moths and reduce #LightPollution!! One of many outreach activities we do Florida Museum #McGuireCenter. Efforts led by Daniels Lab

I'll be at #SICB2024 in Seattle and my lab is looking for a new PhD student to work on acoustic deterrents to protect bats from wind turbines. Please say hi! #bats #bugs #SensoryEcology

Our 3rd cohort of Mozambican graduates recently completed the Gorongosa Masters in Conservation Biology program and are ready to conserve the environment! Photo - Janado Nazaré Cher

Why is this Luna Moth laying eggs on a blade of grass? It's stuck under a streetlight on the pavement in the middle of the street. #Light_pollution

Say hello to the 4th group of Mozambican students working toward their Masters in Conservation Biology in #Gorongosa National Park. These 12 students will immerse themselves in environmental science & contribute to the future of conservation biology in Mozambique.

A customized and shielded street lighting design significantly reduces the lethal attraction of flying insects in various environments. This approach harmonizes human needs with minimizing the ecological impact of artificial light at night. nature.com/articles/s4200…

For those interested - Jesse Barber and I be giving a joint talk (two of us speaking together) at #ICE2024 today at 5:15-5:30 pm, rm C2. Come by to learn about bats, insect ultrasound production, mimicry, and sonar jamming in a 15 min! International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP

On Jan. 1, I start as a Professor and Curator at the American Museum of Natural History. I am recruiting PhD students and Postdoctoral scholars. Happy to discuss GRFP and PRFB applications. Reach out if you are interested in sensory ecology questions!

Excited to announce I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland in July 2024! Case Western Reserve

Finally, a government that is taking illegal #ASGM seriously. Well done Gobierno Territorial Autónomo de la Nación Wampís. Un ejemplo para todos. 💪💪💪 Mongabay Mongabay Latam

Natural history #collections are more important than ever. We can't understand #biodiversity without them natureconservation.pensoft.net/article/132036/

I'm super stoked to announce that I will be starting my own lab in January at Clemson University in the department of Biological Sciences! If you're interested in working on seasonal plasticity in butterflies and moths, feel free to contact me!
