How to use the dataset: get creative! 💡🔬 This data now belongs to the community 👫🦇👬 ⚠️☠️ Reads ≠ Abundance Avoid the trap – metabarcoding it’s not recommended for quantitative analysis🤓

So excited that this study is finally out!🥳🦇
Happy to share this work on the hunting behavior of greater mouse-eared bats 🦇🌕 Turns out, they like a big, chunky beetle even though they are much harder to catch than smaller moths @AHubancheva @YovelBatLab @batsmoths doi.org/10.7554/eLife.84190 @eLife

Haha, I never thought my research could involve so much drama! 😜 Nevermind - seeing my beloved bats under the spotlights warms my heart like nothing else ❤️ 🦇(well...maybe the emotional voice of Benedict Cumberbatch helps a bit🤭)
Shhh! These mouse-eared bats can pick up the sound of their prey from 130 feet away 🤫 Discover more about these incredible animals in #SuperNaturalSeries, now streaming on @DisneyPlus.

A sneak peek of my PhD research in Ep3 of #SuperNaturalSeries 🦇❤️🦗
The ability to adapt is crucial — animals must outsmart their enemies to survive. #SuperNaturalSeries, from director @JimCameron and narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, is now streaming on @DisneyPlus.

Anyone from the bat folks going to #TDFF in Greifswald? I'm looking for a lift from Berlin for tomorrow or Friday ☺️🦇🚗 #bats #conferences

We are humans, we are susceptible to biases. But we are also scientist - we can do better than that 🙃
Massive status bias in peer review. 534 reviewers randomized to review the same paper revealing the low status, high status, or neither author. 65% reject low status, 23% reject high status. Amazing work by Juergen Huber and colleagues. #prc9

1/5 To live or to love?☠️💘 Not an easy question for a small bushcricket... 🦗 Yep, you guessed it - it's time to share our new preprint! Thanks to my wonderful coauthors for sharing this journey: @vsenderov @manuela_nowotny Stefan Schöneich & @batsmoths authorea.com/users/480467/ar…

4/5 Here we quantified how a prey species 🦗 trades off survival against mate attraction over the course of its lifetime under realistic predator🦇 attacks with different levels of predation threat.

5/5 We demonstrate that even species with limited cognitive abilities, i.e. bushcrickets, are capable of carefully balancing the costs and the benefits of reproduction and survival by making different choices throughout their lifetime. Quite impressive for a tiny 🦗, isn't it?
