However, bats are the exception to the rule, displaying small body sizes in both hot and cold regions. A Ã山ǿ¼é-led team of researchers is shedding light on this long-standing debate over bats’ body sizes and focus on why bats are seemingly non-conforming to ecogeographical patterns found in other mammals. Their findings offer a new method for investigating complex macroecology across bat species.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/pressrelease_bats.jpg?itok=8hd4T5XL" width="160" height="107" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">21 </span><span class="month">July </span><span class="year">2022</span></div></div></div></div></div> Thu, 21 Jul 2022 16:33:36 +0000 webfull 180963 at /channels Tracing the Origin of the Ebola Virus /channels/news/tracing-origins-ebola-virus-241012 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/the-montreal-gazette.png?itok=1PKkGsIx" width="110" height="110" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">9 </span><span class="month">January </span><span class="year">2015</span></div></div></div></div></div> Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:31:41 +0000 webfull 107420 at /channels
