Excited to share our paper on bat mating systems! 🦇

We categorise mating systems based on male reproductive skew, and propose a new mating system: lek-like mating systems

Our new paper is out in @Amornith! We now know that "Preferred nesting habitat of the slow-breeding Superb #Lyrebird is rare and was disproportionately impacted by Australia’s “Black Summer” #megafires (2019–2020).." https://t.co/GyCZaxKZNQ. Congratulations @lyrebirdlab
