Just a few more days to apply for a PhD with me! Use new technologies to study movement and ecology of serotine bats in UK. Evidence can guide future rabies control strategies, helping bats and people. Click on project 'Understanding transmission..' here: www.surrey.ac.uk/bbsrc-wessex... #PhD #bats

looking for a good scientific read? This paper is out today and shows how much energy male bats can save by living in groups. Great for buffering environmental unexpectedness! Pic by Rene J doi.org/10.1242/jeb.... @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @jexpbiol.bsky.social @uni-konstanz.de

Hey 🦇 people / conservation geneticists: If a 3 (up to 6) year postdoc in a quiet college town on the Baltic coast is sounding pretty good right about now, the Kerth lab is looking for you! (ad only in German unfortunately, but the group is int'l!) Happy to answer questions, deadline: Feb 10th!

Equally happy to share our new paper! It turns out malaria's little brother is infecting Myotis bats 🦇 and bat flies 🪰 all over Europe. Definitely an under-appreciated pathogen that deserves some more study and attention.

Now that I sort of know my way around here, I guess it's finally time for an intro post. I'm a postdoc at the University of Greifswald working on all things batty! 🦇 I'm terrible at posting regularly, but enjoy lurking along and reading about new pubs/discussions and all the other goings on.
