Hello, My name is Ela Carpenter and I am searching for a PhD program to enroll in for Fall 2011 or Spring 2012. I have a MS in Environmental Science and conducted my thesis research on roosting affinities of Rafinesque's big-eared bats. I've also conducted telemetry (ground & aerial), radar tracking of Mexican free-tail bats, mine surveys, roost exit counts, and live trapping of small mammals. I am interested in studying landscape ecology, specifically roosting & foraging ecology of bats. I would really like to gain experience in mist- netting & handling bats and would be willing to obtain additional field experience if necessary.
If you have any suggestions or recommendations, please let me know (reply off- list). Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Ela Carpenter
