Congrats @tomasvillada.bsky.social on your first paper from your PhD! He found Australian cave-roosting bats in colder climates stay longer in torpor and fatten more to survive in colder environments | doi.org/10.1007/s004...

A neat new study reveals that the controversial species-energy relationship exists.
Temperature 🌡️ directly affects species richness, confirming predictions from the MTE, while rainfall 💧 indirectly affects richness through its influence on productivity | doi.org/10.1126/scie...
