Proud to present our latest 🦇 paper! Using 13 years of data, we show that hibernation timing has shifted dramatically in two bat species, but in opposite directions 😮

Huge congrats to Gabi, Frauke, and the whole team.

One Species Hibernates Shorter, the Other Longer: Rapid but Opposing Responses to Warming Climate in Two Sympatric Bat Species
Hibernation timing is a crucial seasonal transition that directly influences the survival and reproduction of hibernating mammals. Climate change alters key drivers of hibernation phenology, includin...

Nathusius’ pipistrelle 🦇 is quite a remarkable species, an 8g fluffball that can migrate over 2000km across Europe. In our new paper, we use population genetics to learn a bit more about this amazing creature. (🧵 1/6)

Diverse but declining? Population genetic structure and genetic diversity of Nathusius’ pipistrelle along the Dutch coastline during the autumn migration period - Mammalian Biology
Migratory bats are experiencing substantial increases in mortality risk from wind energy developments, but data on their migratory behavior and population dynamics are often lacking. Here, we develop ...
