For the Journal of Animal Ecology's latest podcast episode, we spoke with Valentin Moser about his recently published paper, "Habitat heterogeneity and food availability in beaver-engineered streams foster bat richness, activity and feeding". Valentin reflects on his journey into the world of bats and beavers, what he learnt from conducting his study, and reflects on the future of the research field.
