How do social & environmental factors shape the gut microbiome of bats?🦇
A study led by Dr. Eleonore Lebeuf-Taylor @integrativebiology.bsky.social reveals how microbial diversity differs between little + big brown bats & how roostmates + seasonal shifts play a role.

Here is an Op-Ed @qwebber.bsky.social and I wrote on the absurd Bill 5 being proposed by the Ontario government. It is amazing we have to say these things but word needs to get out for those in Ontario....and for those in the rest of Canada and the U.S: keep watch!

The Ontario government is proposing destructive changes to species at risk legislation that will harm species at risk and their habitat. Please read our op ed and consider writing to your MPP and providing public comment before May 17: thepointer.com/article/2025...

NEW PAPER: The @libererofellows.bsky.social team led by Dr. Schiller looked at what's working for species recovery in 🇨🇦. Species recovery wasn't affected by human or financial capacity provided but was possible when the primary cause of decline was alleviated.
