1/10 🧵🦇🌺 Our latest study dives into the amazing world of nectar-feeding bats & their super specialized tongues! Ever wondered how different bat species get their nectar fix? #BatResearch #Pollination #Ecology doi.org/10.1093/jmam...

‪Our new paper with @justbernstein.bsky.social and our team led by @mormoops.bsky.social at @amnh.org unearths a Holocene bat colony collapse in a Puerto Rican cave. What caused this biodiversity loss? #Paleontology #BatEcology #PuertoRico royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Wondering how fossils 🦴 can tell the stories of the past? Check out our new paper on Holocene #bats in the Caribbean, and what they taught us about extinction! 🦇 Congratulations to lead @mormoops.bsky.social at the AMNH, and all collaborators royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

With the abrupt end to the Mammal-L list serv, we are working on a Google Group option, American Society of Mammalogists List Serv - Google Groups, which you are welcome to join. groups.google.com/u/0/g/mammal... There will be some hiccups as we navigate this option, please be patient

Colleagues, Many of you have reached out to ask if ASM could do something about the recent governmental turmoil in federal agencies. In response, ASM has proudly signed on to multiple statements and letters emphasizing our commitment to both science and human diversity.

We've launched LongBAT, a long-term census of bats in Panama's Soberanía National Park, mirroring the 50-year bird census. Join us in studying how environmental changes impact these amazing creatures! #LongBAT #BatCensus #Panama #Conservation stri.si.edu/story/batbir...

Greetings fellow mammalogists! Early registration (mammalmeetings.org/registration/) and abstract submission (mammalmeetings.org/abstracts/ deadlines extended until 11:59 pm Pacific time April 7th, 2025 !!!!

Back from Panama likely concluding this years‘ #fieldwork for me. Meet some of the #bats we captured, measured and released on our last night. #STRI

New #SORTEEjournalclub post alert! @tarapell.bsky.social & @mammalbiogeography.bsky.social discuss the opportunities & challenges associated with using open-sourced genetic data for large-scale biogeography research. sortee.org/blog/2025/03...

Fellow Mammalogists. As many of you are aware, science is in a state of turmoil in the United States. Recent efforts to drastically reduce government workforces and research funding for science will lead to many adverse consequences for Earth’s remaining natural ecosystems.

The American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) is the world’s largest and oldest professional organization devoted to the study of mammals. As a global leader in the science of mammalogy, it behooves us to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to our core mission:

to promote science as the basis for managing and conserving mammals, to diversify the field of mammalogy, and to advance the scientific understanding of mammals globally. This means we stand committed to supporting all members of our scientific community regardless of ancestry, color,

national origin, marital status, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, or political affiliation. Science is enhanced when diversity is enriched.

ASM will continue to offer scholarships and grants to promote mammal conservation, recognize diverse mammalogists for their important contributions to the field through scholarships and awards, maintain the operations of the IDEA Committee, and pursue other efforts central to our core mission.

Moreover, the American Society of Mammalogists urges continued public support of – and trust in – scientific inquiry and the use of science-based data as the foundation for decisions and policies affecting life on Earth.
