How flexible physiology during torpor helps bats cope with winter across climates Nicholas Wu, Tomás Villada-Cadavid, Christopher Turbill This is a plain language summary of a Functional Ecology research article which can be found here. Many small mammals, like bats, survive win…

New paper in @funecology.bsky.social, where we show how local climate and genetic relatedness influence torpor physiology in a widespread #bat species, demonstrating that phenotypic plasticity drives intraspecific variation.

Excited to share our new paper in Functional Ecology, led by @nicholaswu.bsky.social

We found that torpor in eastern bent-wing bats is driven by local climate and phenotypic plasticity, rather than genetics.
