These Lazy Bats Are Super-Efficient Killers That Carefully Conserve Energy to Attack at a Moment's Notice Wild fringe-lipped bats spend just one-tenth of the night in flight, but they can precisely snatch a calling frog and nab prey that rivals their own size

"In a study published recently in Current Biology, the team found fringe-lipped bats have a more than 50 percent success rate in capturing their prey and waste little energy doing it."

⚙️ Impacts emerge through #mechanisms (e.g. #competition, #predation, #hybridization, ecosystem engineering) but manifest at different biological levels—from individuals to ecosystems.

Confusing mechanisms with consequences is a common source of error in impact studies.

This sounds like a difficult but essential read. Too many of us have a collection of terrible stories or one very terrible story. It takes a toll. #sexualassault #women #predation #sexualharassment #victimization #books #GirlsPlayDead

One of my favourite projects to be involved with - love the combination of cool natural history and the ability to run field #experiments in natural #marine environments. Great work @sammatchette.bsky.social on leading the latest work. 🐟

The Evolutionary Fate of Those Who Prey on Conspecifics (I learned a new word.)

johntinker.substack.com/p/the-evolut... I learned a new word: conspecific. (The spell checker just now underlined it in red.) It means a member of ones own species. This is about predation (more red underlining) within a species, i.e. predatory humans, or predatory social classes. #predation

#Camouflage on the move.

Trumpetfish more often selected similarly coloured fish to ‘shadow’ (swim alongside when hunting).
Doing so reduced the anti-predator responses of prey.

Puma DNA found deep in Guatemalan rainforest. Analysis reveals the cats are eating something unexpected | Discover Wildlife Researchers also gathered DNA from jaguars, ocelots and margays, discovering the measures these wild cats go to in order to live side by side.

RESEARCH “Many savanna carnivores avoid conflict by using different areas or hunting at different times of day. Yet in rainforests, where much of the available space lies above the ground, vertical zones may be just as vital.” #wildlife #predation #cats flip.it/-B3.GS

Freedom – What’s That? Freedom - What's That? Freedom is a core part of the American identity, but what does it mean? Is freedom being allowed to make as much money as possible? Is freedom being permitted to pursue the career of your choice, or attend university if you can rally the funds? Is it being able to live where you'd like, or marry who you'd like? Is freedom having the power to quit a job? Is freedom access to hobbies and recreation? Are you free? If you are, what makes you so? Is freedom bestowed upon us, by some external entity?

How much power do you have in your own live to make your own decisions? Who else has power over your decisions? Whose decisions do you transgress into?
