• Conserving an African bat (Myotis tricolor): seasonal foraging strategies

I propose to investigate the affect of wing morphological variation on the foraging strategies of pregnant bats (Myotis tricolor) while enrolled in a Master of Science program at the University of Cape Town in Cape Town, South Africa. I will compare my findings to data collected on a North American species, Myotis lucifugus. My results will provide greater insight into bat evolution and will benefit bat conservation and agricultural sustainability.
