Back on the podcast! I interned with Science back in 2011. I had no clue when I got the job that I would co-host their podcast for the next 6 months with @boron110. So crazy to be interviewed by her after all these years. Also, bat migration is super cool, so give it a listen!

In this week's #SciencePodcast🎙️, postdoc @EdwardHurme discusses the difficulty of tracking bats as they fly long distances at night and what new tagging technology is revealing about their migration patterns.

Bats surf storm fronts!!! Technically we're on the cover! (Top right)

Thrilled to get this paper out in Science Magazine! Using novel ICARUS tags we track spring bat migration across central Europe.

Pollination in walnuts and pecans occurs through a genetically controlled temporal flowering dimorphism. Two distinct morphs alternate their phases of male and female flowering across the season, promoting outcrossing that has maintained a stable equilibrium throughout tens of millions of years of evolution.

Batnado swirling inside Bracken Cave an hour before emergence. Amazing that you can see so clearly deep in the cave with a thermal camera #IBRC22 @adria_baucells @DinaDechmann @arualentina

New paper alert! We found that straw-color fruit bats match their peak colony times with the start of the growing season @MPI_animalbehav @CBehav @UniKonstanz

new paper out by @EdwardHurme, @martinwikelski, @teague_o, myself and many coauthors: fruit bats surf the green wave across Africa similar to migrating grazers. Check it out: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… (lovely image by @BlairRCostelloe) #Eidolon @eidolonmonitoring @animaltracking
