@HonkIfUrHoary @TheAngryOlogist @S_Bassing We aren't, but see @theresalaverty!
We will be hiring a lab manager and field supervisor :) Stay tuned.

More than excited to announce that we're recruiting a 4- year postdoc at the University of Montana focused on eco-evolutionary modeling of bats affected by White-nose Syndrome! See here for details https://t.co/Y2sL3wNNLF

Another paper from the Bats of Kenya project with Bruce D Patterson. We report an additional species for Kenya and continental Africa...range extension for the Persian Trident Bat, Triaenops persicus . But we also have African trident bat, T. afer

@emhasselquist mycovirus infection?

Very happy to see our paper out at last with my amazing colleagues @UCLCBER @ZSLScience @imperialcollege - we provide a clear link between the way we degrade our landscape and the hazard from future disease spillovers from animals https://t.co/4yF1Kl67xJ

Cross-species disease transmission on your mind? Then I have a treat for you! @Jkbetsch's new paper is out on CDV in Serengeti lions. It's viral phylodynamics, it's evolutionary forensics, it's a great paper shedding new light on an old story. See it here: https://t.co/1ecktBN7c8

Our paper on canine distemper virus spillover in Serengeti lions came out this weekend in early access at @molecology, https://t.co/TiEf8q3oJp !
