PhD in chasing bats. Currently, postdoc at Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior
Konstanz, Germany
Joined July 2012
Yesterday I recommended the @sameerproject as a good place to donate to that is saving lives on the ground in Gaza right now. I would also recommend the @HindRFoundation for the work they do to make sure the perpetrators of this holocaust don't get away with it.

Mexico used to have a party very similar to the Democrats called the PRD. The left abandoned it to create a party called MORENA. This is the result. an 80% approval rating after 5.5 years in power. Now is the time for the American left to do the same.

Paper now out in @MethodsEcolEvol!! Looking forward to seeing how the community applies this method. Since the preprint, I updated the documentation and even made a video tutorial. Do check it out! [paper] https://t.co/vKy9Df2svd [documentation]

Manually coding behaviours from videos is essential to study animal behaviour but it is labour-intensive and susceptible to inter-rater bias and reliability issues. Recent developments of computer...
New preprint out (finally) !!!! We present YOLO-Behaviour, a flexible, easy to implement, robust framework for automated behavioural annotation from videos. @CBehav

Remarkable quote that really gets to the heart of what "mending fences" means in this context.
Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Silicon Valley donors in bid to ‘mend fences.’

Back on the podcast! I interned with Science back in 2011. I had no clue when I got the job that I would co-host their podcast for the next 6 months with @boron110. So crazy to be interviewed by her after all these years. Also, bat migration is super cool, so give it a listen!
In this week's #SciencePodcast🎙️, postdoc @EdwardHurme discusses the difficulty of tracking bats as they fly long distances at night and what new tagging technology is revealing about their migration patterns. 🎧 Listen here: https://t.co/pCubqM1747

What’s even cooler than #bats? Yes - bats surfing storm fronts during dark & blustery nights!🦇😃New research shows that noctule bats harness warm tailwinds to save energy during their migratory journeys https://t.co/J5s14J8Bfr

NPR write-up of my friend @EdwardHurme’s latest cool bat migration research:
npr.org
Migrating hundreds and hundreds of miles is hard work for the common noctule bat. But this European species makes its marathon journey a little bit easier by paying attention to the weather.

Bats surf storm fronts!!! Technically we're on the cover! (Top right) Thrilled to get this paper out in Science Magazine! Using novel ICARUS tags we track spring bat migration across central Europe. @MPI_animalbehav @dechmannlab
Pollination in walnuts and pecans occurs through a genetically controlled temporal flowering dimorphism. Two distinct morphs alternate their phases of male and female flowering across the season, promoting outcrossing that has maintained a stable equilibrium throughout tens of

I met this gentle giant puppy on the streets of Greece, and I am looking for the best home for him. He loves cuddles, humans, cats, and dogs, and he recently survived a poisoned bait. I am willing to travel with him anywhere in Europe where he will be adopted #AdoptDontShop

Stress transmission in bird flocks–it’s a thing! 🐦🐦⚡️@DamienFarine and I show what happens to zebra finches living together with stressed friends. Stoked to see this out, sooo much hard work went into it. Thanks @CBehav @UniKonstanz @MPI_animalbehav
