New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻‍♂️ The Welch Lab Royal Society Publishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

#EarlyView👀 80% of insect species are yet to be discovered and named; most are smaller, less abundant, found at fewer locations and often in taxonomically complex groups, than named species #OpenAccess #OriginalArticle⬇️ doi.org/10.1111/icad.1… @Royentsoc Wiley Ecology & Evolution

#eDNA has been brought to a spectacular development during the last decade, but there are still some discussion about the term itself. If you want to know more about it make sure to read this article: bit.ly/4gaedFL #DNA #Science #Knowledge #research
