My research focuses on the three nectar bats that persist in the United States, the lesser long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae), the Mexican long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris nivalis), and the Mexican long-tongued bat (Choeronycteris mexicana). Working with Dr. Kathryn Stoner, we investigate how factors such as climate, agave nectar availability, and the availability of anthropogenic food sources such as sugar water from hummingbird feeders affect the movement and timing of nectar bats in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. Our field team is based out of Hachita, NM, where we study New Mexico’s largest know lesser-long nosed bat roost site located in the Big Hatchet Mountains and monitor their activity in nearby residential sites.
