And also, Happy #BatAppreciationDay! 🦇🦇🦇

Also, it's now #ramadhan, the fasting month for Muslims, which makes the work extra challenging for our partners Fizi, Meor and Fadhil from #TreeClimbersMalaysia. But that hasn't affected their dedication to their craft, or their work performance in the field - awesome team, mad respect! They can seriously #moveintrees! 🌳

The inter-monsoonal period happens to coincide with #durian flowering this year, and it hasn't been treating us too kindly on the west coast of #peninsularmalaysia, with work getting constantly disrupted by downpours during the day and termite emergences at night! ⛈

Studying bat pollination means you gotta understand what goes on with the floral biology too! Here #projectpteropus MSc student JoonYee is testing the stigma receptivity of a durian flower. Can you spot the effervescence? This means that the stigma is receptive and ready to accept pollen. #durianfloralbiology #batpollination

And of course what inevitably keeps happening when you have to rely on an old secondhand car as your field vehicle 😅😅😅 #breakdown #enginefailure #oldcar #fieldcar #landcruiser #towed #fieldwork #challengesinthefield #projectpteropus

See link in bio! Our critical review of pteropodid-plant interactions over the last 36 years is now published! 'The Critical Importance of Old World Fruit Bats for Healthy Ecosystems and Economies' is part of the Frontiers in Ecology & Evolution special issue ‘Animal Seed Dispersal: An Ecosystem Service In Crisis'.
