Research Work Abstract

The focus of most of my research is on nongame and endangered species.

I have done extensive work on the federally endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) identifying and delineating critical summer habitat. Additionally, I am involved in ongoing small mammal work including a reintroduction project for the Illinois state-endangered eastern woodrat (Neotoma floridana).
