Research

I work on the Ecology and Behaviour of Bats, where my key research areas are:

• Echolocation
• Conservation biology
• Social behaviour
• Molecular ecology: phylogeny, population structure and kinship
• Interactions between echolocating bats and prey that can hear ultrasound

Further information about my research can be found by following this link to the home page of the Bat Ecology and Bioacoustics Laboratory.
