Thirty five + years of bat research in Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan

Dr. Mark Brigham from the University of Regina presents his talk, "Thirty-five + years of bat research in Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan" at the WildEcol seminar. Abstract: How do bats and nightjars survive when food is scarce? What drives population decline in some of our most vulnerable birds and mammals? These are just a few of the questions explored in this engaging talk on the fascinating strategies animals use to conserve energy, persist in challenging environments, and reverse population declines. Join us as we delve into decades of research conducted at the University of Regina's field station in Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan since 1991. Drawing on a rich body of work led by students and collaborators, I will share a variety of research projects I've conducted on the social behavior, roost ecology, foraging patterns, thermoregulation, communication, and energetics of several bat species, including big brown bats, little brown bats, hoary bats, and silver-haired bats. Through this talk, you'll gain insight into how understanding the ecology of bats can inform conservation efforts. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, student, or researcher, this is a unique opportunity to explore the hidden lives of bats and the science that helps protect them.
