This week we are shining the spotlight on the Moonrat. A curious-looking nocturnal creature, weighing typically up to 1 kg. As the only species in its genus, the Moonrat sits within the Erinaceidae family with hedgehogs. Find out more in the image below 👇

Please share widely. I'm recruiting 1 or 2 PhD students for Fall 2022/Winter 2023 to work on projects related to foraging, energetics, behavioural plasticity and among-individual variation in black-capped chickadees. More details here: https://t.co/904I4JwYfN

A college class had 2 teachers: one male and one female

At the end of the semester, the students scored the male higher on course evaluations, while the female got FIVE times as many negative reviews

There’s just one problem: They were the SAME person.

1/n Thrilled to share our new paper, in which we found that three species of #bats respond differently to #White-NoseSyndrome (#WNS), but that the fungus causing that disease responds similarly to the three species.

Hi 👋🏽 we're @EEB_POC. Papers of Color. We re-tweet EEB research papers written by scientists who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Do @ us, we're here, we'll quickly check you're self-submitting and re-tweet.

So in these depressing times, when most of us can't get out to watch wildlife (and travelling to Madagascar or the Seychelles to see #tenrecs is definitely out), let's remember how uplifting nature can be...

"Exuberant" is not the first adjective I think of when describing hippos, but here we are.

We @whapavt are using #Tech4Wildlife by putting camera collars on #blackbears to study foraging ecology in the Appalachian Mountains. We now are watching thousands of videos of cool behaviors like this rock flipping. It's awesome to get a bear's eye view!
