We combine empirical field studies with quantitative approaches to study the ecology and conservation biology of vertebrates, most often of bats. The questions we ask are driven by a curiosity about the natural world and a desire to help sustain biodiversity.
WHITE-NOSE SYNDROME
We currently have multiple projects studying disease impact, transmission, spread and potential treatment of this devastating disease.
ECOLOGY OF DESERT BATS
We study several aspects of community ecology, demography, and behavior of desert bats on the Baja Peninsula in Northwestern Mexico.
AEROECOLOGY
We use archived weather radar data to study animal behaviors in the aerosphere.
POPULATION ECOLOGY & CONSERVATION BIOLOGY
We study various aspects of how global change, including land use, climate change, and catastrophic events affect bat populations.
