Academic rigor, journalistic flair
Assistant Professor in the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Ecology, New Mexico State University
I have conducted applied ecological research in the field across parts of North America, South America, and Africa. I currently study mammal communities (largely nectar-feeding bats) in United States–Mexico borderlands. For my PhD research, I lived in Namibia for eighteen months studying insectivorous bat communities in the northern Namib Desert. As a postdoctoral scholar, I also studied frugivorous bat populations in central and northern Madagascar.
