new work from the lab on additional diversity of hemoplasmas in wild bats, focusing on rarely sampled species (like the greater bulldog bat!) in Belize tinyurl.com/2p86a95w

Excited to be at #WDA2023 this week! If you are around, come talk to us!

very excited about new work by @brianaabook on anthropogenic roosting ability across the bat phylogeny. we hope the bat research community can leverage these species-level data for future analyses!

In observance of #BatWeek we'd like to spotlight our state's flying mammal. 🦇 🔦 A research team from the University of Oklahoma is studying the movements and overall health of Mexican free-tailed bats at Selman Bat Cave WMA. Read more about the multi-year project in our Outdoor

Very happy to share my new paper about bat species in Brazilian caves!! 🦇🦇❤️❤️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ae…

big day for me, this paper is hugely important. please share : using #Africa as an example we reviewed #bat #virus research and the result is baffling. This is a call to plan bat virus research and present results carefully! doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2… MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social DeeAnn Reeder

Excited to share my first postdoc manuscript! Daniel Becker and I created frameworks for understanding how cross-species transmission is driven by phylogenetic relatedness between co-roosting species, and its impact on roost infection prevalence. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

exciting new work by Molly Simonis, PhD, where we integrate well-characterized phylogenetic barriers to cross-species transmission into multi-host models of pathogen spread, focusing on co-roosting species

excited to share new (& ongoing!) work on bacterial infections in Mexican free-tailed bats, including novel lineages and effects of migration. great working with Bat Conservation International Dr Winifred F Frick Teague O'Mara Lauren Lock @Nancy_Bat and others. photo cred: Kristin Dyer 🦇🦠🐍 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This week, treaty negotiators are weighing a proposed World Health Organization (WHO) system that would ensure global access to life-saving medicines and fund future science. Proud to share an open letter in nature from 290 scientists in 36 countries on why we support the proposal nature.com/articles/d4158…

Estamos reclutando a un estudiante de doctorado que quiera combinar ecología del movimiento en murciélagos con modelos epidemiológicos. El trabajo de campo va a ser en Belice y en Kenia. Es una SUPER oportunidad, y tener a Dan de tutor es un plus! Apliquen y compartan!

New from Colin Carlson on the Verena blog: why doesn't nature use the term "Global South"? viralemergence.org/blog/nature-ha…

Don't let this opportunity slip away!

We are also looking for a lab tech! Apply!

Come say hi!!

Last year, I was excited to have one of my dissertation chapters published, which usually feels like an endless task. Winning the Early Career Research award was a delightful surprise! P.D. If you are interested in host-pathogen interactions, go give it a read 😉

Check out Caroline's preprint!

🎉Excited to kick off 2025 with two great updates! 1️⃣ I’ve started as a Postdoc Research Associate at the #SoundForestLab UW–Madison! 2️⃣ My 3rd PhD chapter is out! We used SEMs to explore how 🦇🔊 relates to the environment, 🌲structure, and 🪲🦟🦋. 📰🔎doi.org/10.1016/j.fore…
