Did you know a tiny 8g bat can call as loud as a 900kg bison!

Check out our new paper in @NatureEcoEvo which sheds some new light on the costs of calling loudly for small bats! https://t.co/BeY4ZcgIM8 @YovelBatLab @IZWberlin #WomenInSTEM @SpringerNature 📸credit @ReneJanssen83

Conversion efficiency of flight power is low, but increases with flight speed in the migratory bat Pipistrellus nathusii: https://t.co/kxTbJBSDId @voigtbatlab @batsinthbelfry #ProcB #biomechanics #ecology

This work was a great collaboration between @IZWberlin and @Biology_LU. Big thanks to @HedenstrmAnders @voigtbatlab Christoffer Johansson & Cedric Aumont

Our latest paper is out! Examining the costs of flight and variations in conversion efficiency in a small migratory bat🦇

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
Out today @RSocPublishing, a project I've been working on for a while and I'm excited to finally share!

@DotyAnna Excuse my ignorance, but what's TNR?

We have lost our connection with nature almost entirely. Everything is a pet now and nothing can die. Except the animals we eat and what we call pests.... The hypocrisy is ridiculous.

[Dr Shannon E Currie @batsinthbelfry]

#academia is such a fickle, relentless mistress. The joys of submitting 4 years of work to a great journal dashed within a day by harsh review of an older manuscript. Can't we just have a moment to celebrate?

[Dr Shannon E Currie @batsinthbelfry]

@ClareStawski @DotyAnna OH YESSSSS

[Dr Shannon E Currie @batsinthbelfry]

@GaryBurness @YovelBatLab @LHedh might have some good suggestions. :)

[Dr Shannon E Currie @batsinthbelfry]

So nice to see the fear mongering doesn't stop at FOX news....😒

Also would be good if your links are up to date so people can access the actual article you are referring to @Nature
