Welcome to the Haase Lab

We work at the intersection of landscape ecology, ecophysiology, and disease ecology. Our research stems from the overarching questions about how land-use change and climate change shape animal energetics, movement ecology, and behavior.  We operate at the junction of theory and empiricism, combining field data with ecological modeling techniques.

Recent Happenings in the lab:

  • ​April 2020: Congrats to Jonathan Crockarell and John Hansen, undergraduate students in the lab who received an Undergraduate Research Enrichment Funds through APSU. Jonathan will be studying the impacts of military operations on the Fort Campbell bat community and John will be studying the impacts of supplemental feeding on feral cats on campus.
  • March 2020: Welcome Sarah Kruger and Trevor Walker to the lab! Both Sarah K. and Trevor will be starting their MS projects on Fort Campbell this summer!
  • January 2020: Everyone welcome Sarah Zirkle to the lab! Sarah is a MS student and will be studying bats on Fort Campbell Army Base.
  • December 2019: Our paper on constraints of thermal refuge distance on foraging in the Florida manatee has been published by the J. of Mammalogy!
  • October 2019: Our paper on incorporating evaporative water loss into bioenergetic models of bat hibernation was accepted and is available online.
  • August 2019: WE HAVE MOVED TO TENNESSEE! The Haase Lab is now in the Department of Biology at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN!​
