<div style="text-align: center">My research interests are motivated by the impacts of anthropogenic land use on communities of plants and animals, and on ecosystem function. In addition, my interests are driven by a desire to inform conservation in human-dominated landscapes. Consequently, my dissertation research will explore the large-scale spatial organization (metacommunity structure) of Neotropical bats within a landscape comprising agricultural fields and regenerating forests of different ages, and will evaluate the environmental characteristics that underlie these spatial patterns. I also hope to extend my research to investigate the effectiveness of ecosystem services provided by bats (e.g., seed dispersal) within human-dominated landscapes.</div><br>
