Do you like acoustic data, community ecology, and desert oases? Apply for a PhD in my lab to investigate the role of ephemeral water sources (i.e., playa lakes and tinajas) in structuring desert bat (and maybe bird) communities. Visit lavertylab.org/join-the-lab for more. Applications due October 1

Pleased to share our new pre print on a systems biology framework for the study of bats and their symbionts! This was a huge effort involving more than 20 authors from 10 countries. ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Equally happy to share our new paper! It turns out malaria's little brother is infecting Myotis bats 🦇 and bat flies 🪰 all over Europe. Definitely an under-appreciated pathogen that deserves some more study and attention.

very happy to share our new paper “Europe-wide distribution and bat-host specific lineages in the malarial parasite Polychromophilus murinus revealed through genetic screening of bat flies” We started working on the project several years ago! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Come apply for my soon-to-be-former job! Advert unfortunately only in German, but the group is very international. Very happy to chat and answer any questions
