SUMMARY:Zahner Lecture Series | Bats in Your Backyard at Highlands Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Rada Petric\, Assistant Research Professor and Director of the UNC IE Highlands Field Site\, UNC Institute for the Environment. \nUrbanization\, landscape modification and concomitant pollutants (sound\, light\, and chemical compounds) alter the natural landscape which in turn influences animal behavior\, biology\, and survival. Sound\, light and microplastics are emerging contaminants of interest. Due to the increased detection of these emerging contaminants\, most habitats have become threatened. Despite the documented record of their occurrence in literature\, there remains a great deal of mystery surrounding their occurrence’s ecological consequence. Her primary research interest is understanding how anthropogenic disturbances are altering community composition and reshaping ecosystems. Here\, we discuss several studies focused on understanding how bats and small mammals respond to human disturbances. \nFREE | No registration required \nSponsored by Mary Todd & Jimmy Davis\, Nancy & Lyle Nichols\, and Miriam & Vernon Skiles. \nFavorites Count: 0
