Pete Hudson from Penn State University won the Ecology in Action category for his photo of a bat being swabbed for viruses. “While many of us are suffering with vaccines and regular swabs, the poor bats are also being sampled,” Hudson explained. “At the start of the pandemic, our team were in Bangladesh sampling fruit bats near locations where Nipah virus had infected humans and recording virus and new viral sequences.”
