last in my collection of species portraits for now: this adorable #Phyllostomus ❤️🦇 by Dr. Bella, tired and wired I am hoping to expand! So if you want to draw a Molossus, a Rousettus, a Tadarida or a common shrew or mole - reach out! Best to batichica.blsky.social #swansong #leaving
New research on adaptations to frugivory in the pale spear-nosed bat, #Phyllostomus discolor, by Laura Quinche, Sharlene Santana & Alejandro Rico-Guevara: doi.org/10.1002/ar.251… The paper is part of our upcoming Special Issue on ecological morphology and sensory biology of #bats
5/n #PowerWoman Camila Calderon is one of our #colombianas and is trying to see how #emphemeralresources drive #socialsystems comparing #Phyllostomus between seasons and populations. I am currently on #BocasDelToro with her, Meg Crofoot Teague O'Mara and a great crew tagging bats
I am in the field catching entire groups of #phyllostomus to see how they forage socially with Meg Crofoot Teague O'Mara Camila Calderon and a great team and it‘s awesome and yet my ❤️ weeps #StandWithUkraine
meanwhile in Panama: releasing is the best part of #bat catching, especially when they‘re tagged. Hopefully the virgin mary statue they pass on their return to the cave throws in a blessing. #Phastbats #Phyllostomus Camila Calderon Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior Teague O'Mara ❤️🦇❤️

from the field - you‘re welcome ❤️❤️❤️🦇❤️❤️❤️ Camila Calderon is testing preferences for artificial odours to prepare for social info exchange experiments and testing holding tent escape proof-ness Teague O'Mara Meg Crofoot Vanessa Mata #phyllostomus #bats
on my way to Panama to get two wonderful women Camila Calderon and Luisa Fernanda🦇 started with their field seasons studying #Molossus and #Phyllostomus ridiculously excited to return to my home away from home
I did not really believe it for a long time but I am going to the field y‘all! In #Panama! #Molossus and #Phyllostomus the #batichicas are coming! Camila Calderon Luisa Fernanda🦇 Vanessa Mata Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour
#balsa is its own microcosm - happy to be studying them with Camila Calderon Teague O'Mara and Meg Crofoot looking at how #phyllostomus social foraging depends on this patchy resource
20 years ago this month I came to #BCI for the first time, just after the US had handed over the canal. Many #Lophostoma, #Noctilio, #Molossus, #Phyllostomus just to name a few this love story is still going strong. Smithsonian Panama Migration Dept., Max Planck Inst. Animal Behavior
my best friend for the next two weeks #phast_bats #Phyllostomus #ochroma Meg Crofoot Teague O'Mara Alexander Vining how do bats use social info to feed on them?
