🦇 Is the barbastelle bat's hunting on moths with low-intensity echolocation the classic example for predator-prey coevolution it was thought to be? No, a new study says, showing that its hunting strategy likely evolved from a quiet gleaning ancestor and is not a direct adaption to its preys’ hearing ability: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Researchers compiled a dataset with a comprehensive collection of 1018 BIN species which make up the diet of the bats Myotis myotis and M. blythii in Bulgaria: doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.10684…

Using #metabarcoding, researchers have analysed faecal samples of lesser mouse-eared bats in Bulgaria. A dataset of the consumed prey species and parasites has been created: doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.10684…

ACROSS ACOUSTICS
Have you listened to our latest episode yet? Researchers know that bats will alter the calls they use for echolocation depending on their task or environment. Will they change their calls based on the weather? doi.org/10.1121/10.0019359

“Bad” weather for bats? 🦇☔ Temperature and humidity affect ultrasound. Scientists from our institute examined the effects of weather on the echolocation calls of three bat species and found that even though some slightly adapt their calls to “bad” weather, they don’t compensate the decrease in detection range.

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

You know all those taxidermied bats on @Etsy that are listed as “ethically sourced”? Yeah, that’s bullshit. Here are two red flags, using “World of Wonders Deco” as an example.
ALT Best, All bats died of natural causes. These only live for a few months and die after mating (these are also all males). After that, the bats are washed and dried + preserved with borax to prevent the decomposition process. With best regards

How gendered is the clothing offer for children? For our @SZ data analysis, we examined 20,000 shirts and shorts from @hmdeutschland, @Zalando and @aboutyou_com that they offer online for children under 10. The results show: Current children's fashion cements gender images. 🧵

Dear funders, publishers, research instit. & researchers
We waste 82-89% of conducted ecological research
Ignorance of the problem is expensive, yet we seem to be successfully ignorant for decades
