I am an Adjunct Professor of Biology interested in the ecology of bats. Current projects include monitoring and assessment of bat species diversity at the CSU Chico field stations and examining the use of vernal pools as foraging habitats for bats. Contact me if you are interested in working on a project involving bats.
