Thesis:

Bat use of redwood basal hollows with increasing isolation in contiguous, remnant, and legacy redwood forest stands.

After Humboldt, Amy worked for the EPA in Sacramento.

Fr her thesis, Amy investigated how roost isolation and distribution may affect bats' use of redwood basal hollows located in Redwood National Park and adjacent private land. She used guano-traps placed within hollows to determine the use of roosts in three different spatial scales. The information collected advanced our understanding of forest-dwelling bats and their roosting ecology.
