Sarah Zirkle, M.S. StudentSarah joins the lab after receiving her B.S. degree in Wildlife Science from Tennessee Technological University. Sarah is interested in the spatial ecology and population dynamics of Perimyotis subflavus (tri-colored bat), a species recently petitioned for Endangered Species Act protection. Her research will focus on habitat selection of summer roosts by this species and impacts of forest management.

Sarah Krueger, M.S. StudentSarah received her B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries with minors in Forestry and International Agriculture and Natural Resources from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. After graduating, she had the opportunity to work for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources conducting cave and culvert surveys. This opportunity, coupled with previous work experience in bat acoustics, has lead her to pursue a graduate research project investigating the impacts of white-nose syndrome on reproductive timing and age-structure of eastern bat species.

Trevor Walker, M.S. StudentTrevor received his B.S. in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology from North Carolina State University and an A.S. in Fish and Wildlife Management Technology from Haywood Community College. Trevor pursued his degrees because he has always loved being outside and spending time hiking, hunting, and fishing. Then in his sophomore year he began working with bats! Trevor is interested in studying how insect population/diversity across the landscape affects the presence of bat species on Fort Campbell Army Base. He will also be utilizing his vast experience in tracking with radio telemetry to help out the team!
