New paper in the Anatomical Record with Melissa Sierra, @brooke_quinn1, @Bats_at_Brown! We take a broad look at the organization of sensory hairs on bat wings, using images of museum specimens that Melissa painstakingly photographed under a microscope anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

New paper in @AnatRecord from the laboratory @Bats_at_Brown shows distinct clustering of sensory hairs on bat wings, may sense airflow, and positioned near membranous wing muscles! anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

How do you photograph the impossible? Hear Nat Geo Photographer Mark Thiessen explain how he captured a bat eating a moth in darkness—one of our top images of 2022. See more of our Pictures of the Year: on.natgeo.com/3WE4oWi Photos and video by Mark Thiessen

We've known that bats echolocate for over 80 years, but only TODAY work published by @scientistjonas and @CoenElemans showing how bats make ultrasound! 1/2

High-speed video & audio reveals how #bats use distinct laryngeal structures for #echolocation & social calls. The same structures as used in #DeathMetal growling extend their vocal range to 7 octaves. @scientistjonas @CoenElemans &co #PLOSBiology plos.io/3UjM03a

Our bats are in Nat Geo’s Pictures of the Year Issue! We had an amazing shoot with Mark Thiesen of NatGeo this summer. So glad to share these amazing creatures with the world!

Happy spooky season, a bat biologist's favorite time of year! Here's a throwback photo of Dr. Swartz with her favorite little bat pup 🦇

Always happy about an opportunity to share our research, like at this delayed National Biomechanics Day event with local high school students (feat. the Roberts lab)!

Check out our new paper! Neysa (neysagriderpotter.com), bat chiropractor extraordinaire, gently manipulated the heads of bats into maximum flexion and extension to measure range of motion

Fruit-eating #bats have stiffer necks than their animal-eating relatives, a possible #adaptation for carrying heavy fruits - read the paper for FREE via …lpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/EKB4255R… @WileyEcolEvol

Check out our new paper on bat muscle and temperature in Proc B! The bat wing is incredibly distinctive, with thin skin covering the arm, forearm, and fingers, leaving the wing muscles exposed to the environment (1/3) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Bats are fast, right? But they also fly incredibly high too! Today in @CurrentBiology we show how European free-tailed bats fly up to 1600 m above the ground & hit top speeds of 135 kph!
