Another paper from the Bats of Kenya project with Bruce D Patterson. We report an additional species for Kenya and continental Africa...range extension for the Persian Trident Bat, Triaenops persicus . But we also have African trident bat, T. afer – at Narok, Kenya

Very happy to see our paper out at last with my amazing colleagues @UCLCBER @ZSLScience @imperialcollege - we provide a clear link between the way we degrade our landscape and the hazard from future disease spillovers from animals nature.com/articles/s41586-0… – at South West, England

Cross-species disease transmission on your mind? Then I have a treat for you! @Jkbetsch's new paper is out on CDV in Serengeti lions. It's viral phylodynamics, it's evolutionary forensics, it's a great paper shedding new light on an old story. See it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Our paper on canine distemper virus spillover in Serengeti lions came out this weekend in early access at @molecology, doi.org/10.1111/mec.15449 !
