I have migrated to the place where the sky is blue 🦋. See you there science peeps!

The @batslab is seeking a PhD candidate (stipend provided) to work on the ecology of the eastern horseshoe bat🦇 & its sensitivity to the impacts of fire 🔥 | https://t.co/SQgCCXx25F | @westsyduhie @AusBats 📷 A. Musser

Out in early view: The ecomorphological radiation of phyllostomid #bats. With @aigverte and Marco Mello, we explore the extrinsic and intrinsic factors associated with the most fabulous adaptive radiation within mammals. https://t.co/deEryzGewl

Ranges is pleased to announce the second call for the Ranges Imaging Mini-Awards! The goal of these awards is to support imaging of Western North American #mammal specimens for research. Deadline is 01/08/2015. More info 👇 https://t.co/jgmx6GAI4g

Puerto Rico might be just 100 x 35 miles, but the talent and creativity among its people are boundless. An image that speaks volume—Puerto Ricans at #NDiSTEM @SACNAS. 🇵🇷

This is part of our @NSF funded 🦇 research with @TimSmit02313649 @Bats_Inside_Out and @thomas_eiting (the bat anatomy dream team 🤩)

In the past ~20 years, #microCT scanning has truly revolutionized the way we study #bat morphology and biomechanics. Check out what our lab has been up to recently in this interview @vaibhchhaya and I did for @Micro_Photonics: https://t.co/0HcruqmjKj

New jobs in @tamueccb. Come join us! Assistant Prof in #Ecosystem science https://t.co/yBjNmwpk90 & Assistant Prof in #Forestry https://t.co/Iu6i0PVzYW #hiring #ecology #evolution #tenuretrack

Extreme example: The distance between a giraffe's brain and its voice box is only a few inches. Yet, its recurrent laryngeal nerve detour makes the nerve about 15 feet long. In some dinosaurs it may have been >90ft long This is decidedly un-intelligent design -it's evolution.

@andreabernalri @LauraLQuinche @vaibhchhaya And more congratulations to @vaibhchhaya for winning the @TitleyScientif1 #NASBR2024 Best Student Presentation Award!! Well done Vaibhav! 🎉✨🦇🤩 @UWBiology

And a big congratulations to @andreabernalri @LauraLQuinche and @vaibhchhaya for doing such a great job highlighting the importance of comparative functional morphology, behavior, and physiology 🦇 studies in their presentations!! 🤩

A celebration of bat research, academic connections, cultural experiences, good food, and sunshine — what more could you ask for? NASBR2024 🦇Guadalajara🇲🇽 was such a blast! See you next time!

@LauraLQuinche PhD student in @SESantanaM lab at @UWBiology rocked her presentation on Nectar-feeding Mechanisms in Generalist vs. Specialist Bats.

@vaibhchhaya, PhD candidate in @SESantanaM lab at @UWBiology rocked his talk on Functional Interactions in the Bat Rostrum.

@andreabernalri, PhD student in @SESantanaM lab at @UWBiology, and @GlobalBatNet student fellow, aced her talk on Sweet Old Bats: Morphological and Physiological Signs of Senescence in Wild Fruit and Nectar Bats

We have open PhD and Masters positions to work in the long-term research project on the ecology and evolution of short-tailed bats (Carollia perspicillata)! Please check our site https://t.co/8jv9BTGloT and the call for applications at

I am SO PROUD to say that the indomitable @Alexuss_Symone 's 3rd ch. is OUT NOW at Evolution Letters! With me, @cmart_fishmorph , & Peter Wainwright, we find that a famous key innovation in feeding apparatus LIMITS functional diversification! https://t.co/vcbbk4c34I

"The state of the bats in North America" report is now published & it doesn't look good for bats. 153 spp (CAN/USA/MEX) and 53% are at a moderate to very high risk of extinction in the next 15 years. #Frightening #ActionNeeded BATS NEED FRIENDS. https://t.co/v2KavFExKW

Biodiversity Research & Teaching Collections https://t.co/Uii1Hllh8z @tamueccb is hiring! We're looking for a staff curator (aka collections manager) of fishes & herps. Come join us! More information here:
