Work with the NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife Service and the Conserve Wildlife Foundation - Amanda Bevan

I have worked with Dr. Brooke Maslo for the past two years on several bat ecology, conservation, and management projects. 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.

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.

A night of mist-netting in the Pine Barrens for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (*Myotis septentrionalis*) to learn about their roosting requirements in New Jersey.
