The best of two worlds: using stacked generalization for integrating expert range maps in species distribution models

This paper integrates expert range maps with species distribution models using stacked generalization to improve range delineation and account for uncertainty.

Evidence for unfamiliar kin recognition in vampire bats

The paper demonstrates unfamiliar kin recognition in vampire bats through social association preferences and genetic analysis.

Thinking small: next-generation sensor networks close the size gap in vertebrate biologging

This paper develops a wireless biologging network for tracking small vertebrates with high resolution and low tag weight, demonstrating its application in studying wild bats.

Physical linkage and mate preference generate linkage disequilibrium for behavioral isolation in two parapatric crickets

The paper investigates the sources of linkage disequilibrium in two crickets by analyzing genetic covariance between song and preference traits, finding contributions from physical linkage and pleiotropy.

Proximity sensors reveal social information transfer in maternity colonies of Common noctule bats

This study uses proximity sensors to show that Common noctule bat pups follow their mothers to new roosts, indicating social information transfer, but not at foraging sites.

Reticulate Evolutionary History of a Western Palaearctic Bat Complex Explained by Multiple mtDNA Introgressions in Secondary Contacts

The paper investigates the reticulate evolutionary history of a bat species complex, identifying multiple mtDNA introgression events and suggesting taxonomic revisions.

Demography and selection shape transcriptomic divergence in field crickets

The paper examines transcriptomic divergence in field crickets to disentangle the effects of demography and selection on genetic differentiation.
