I will presenting this paper at #IBRC2025 in the Physiology session, Thursday 1:30pm AEST. Come along and I also advertise an EOI for a funded #postdoc and #PhD position! @IBRC2025.
New paper in @Ecology_Letters. We show that bats 🦇 fatten predictably in cold climates, but also in warm climates with strong rainfall seasonality. This relationship is also influenced by interactions with sex and study year | | @westsyduhie
