Great work by Giulia Rossi, Jerrica Jamison, and (her first pub) Alaa Elbassiouny! Congratulations team! UTSC Biology U of T Scarborough Research & Innovation

Check out our new paper in ConservationPhysiology 👇🏼 The Welch Lab U of T Scarborough Research & Innovation

So proud of PhD student Jerrica Jamison being named co-winner of the SSB Ernst Mayr award at #Evol2024 ! UTSC Biology U of T Scarborough Research & Innovation University of Toronto EEB

In case you have missed it - our latest research paper showing how hypoxia and ocean acidification affect gill morphology and chemoreceptors in sticklebacks. Great work by Liam Tigert 🐅 and Deep Soor UTSC Biology Bamfield MSC link.springer.com/article/10.100…


Manuscript accepted with minor revisions after the initial submission?!! Might be a first for the The Welch Lab! More coming soon with Giulia Rossi ! #vampirebats


The team deploying humidity/temperature loggers at the Thachtfield Cave to monitor environmental conditions essential for cave wildlife like bats. Please share and let me know what you think about the work we are doing. The Welch Lab #Roostersworldja #Biologist


great talk by the The Toronto Zoo bat conservation team on successfully relocating maternity colonies of little brown myotis from condemned barn buildings near the zoo! hugely successful!



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…


A new University of Toronto Scarborough study finds that vampire bats unique metabolism allows them to fuel their physical activity by only eating blood. Read more: utsc.utoronto.ca/news-events/br… #BreakingResearch
