Big brown bat wing (Eptesicus fuscus).
My name is Amanda and I am a senior majoring in Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources. I have worked with Dr. Brooke Maslo for the past two years on several bat ecology, conservation, and management projects.
Big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) caught during a maternity survey in a residential area of North Jersey. I worked with NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife Service and the Conserve Wildlife Foundation to study urban bat populations.
I am a George H. Cook Scholar candidate and my thesis project is a "Survival analysis of Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis) with White-nose Syndrome". This past winter break I volunteered on a bat conservation project in Malawi, Africa, where I helped with bat ecology and biodiversity studies and assisted in addressing human-bat conflict.
