Educational Background Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, Ph.D. 2003
University of Georgia, M.S. 1998 Thesis: The foraging ecology of three species of bats at the Savannah River Site, South Carolina. 74 pp. University of Georgia, B.S. 1996 General Research & Interest Areas
My research program has focused on non-game and endangered species. Much of my interests lie in how land management affects non-game and endangered species. I have done extensive work on the federally endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) identifying and delineating critical summer habitat. As well as examining winter hibernation habitat. I also work with
small mammal communities. Again much of this work has focused on how
changes in land-use affect these animals. Additionally, I am involved in
a
Graduate and undergraduate students working with me have studied various aspects of bat ecology and small mammals. Persons interested in graduate research involving questions in wildlife biology may contact me. They should also view my document for Prospective Students.
