Competition

…Huze team dominated the competition and released a preprint detailing their process. This journal club meeting will involve open discussion of the paper with Q/A with Huze. Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.01175.pdf Related paper also from Huze that we can discuss: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.14021.pdf

Bats are extreme aviators and amazing navigators. Many bat species nightly commute dozens of kilometres in search of food, and some bat species annually migrate over thousands of kilometres. Studying bats in their natural environment has always been extremely challenging because of their small size (mostly <50 gr) and agile nature. We have recently developed novel miniature technology allowing us to GPS-tag small bats, thus opening a new window to document their behaviour in the wild. We have used this technology to track fruit-bats pups over 5 months from birth to adulthood. Following the bat
