Welcome to the lab!
Our lab is interested in the behaviour and ecology of temperate insect eating bats and nocturnal insectivorous birds called goatsuckers. My students and I study how these organisms cope with environmental constraints (e.g., cold, drought, loss of habitat). This includes addressing questions about prey selection, prey detection abilities, the influence of moonlight, habitat selection and the nature of torpor use. There are obvious natural comparisons between goatsuckers and bats. Students in my lab are currently working on diverse projects including torpor use, roost site selection, niche and diet overlap and response to distress calls by bats, impacts of grazing on grassland birds and the nature of wildlife use of urban areas, |

February 28- Paula Rodriguez joins our lab for the month of March, coming all the way from Seville, Spain!
February 10 2023. Emma Blanken wins the University of Regina Women in STEM scholarship. Way to go Emma!!!
January 26 2023 - this is what happens when you bet on the leafs to beat the habs. Darn thing gave me hives.
January 1 2023 - What it takes to get famous. Twitter (not that I use it) has been all abuzz about an apparent typographical error in a paper I co-authored nearly 30 years ago. This is precisely why social media can be fun, but also has issues. If you
go to the original source, there is no typo. This is all just a fun hoax, but hopefully it gets a few more folks to read the paper.
