Giorgia G. Auteri — Principal Investigator
Embedded Files
My research interests are covered extensively on this site. In addition to research, teaching, and mentoring, I enjoy rock climbing and reading fiction.
PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer accepting new students as part of the lab group. I am potentially available to serve as an external memberon student dissertation and thesis committees (depending on your institution's rules).

Marxe Altman-Orbach
Marxe is focused on the ecological role and conservativion of bats, as well as improving their public perception. He was lucky to explore both urban and rural wildlife systems, as a child outside of Washington DC, and an undergraduate student in upstate New York. Marxe loves his dog (Truffle Bear), sharing fun facts, and almost all outdoor activities.

Aleana Savage
Aleana was a Master's student who studied how bats differ across urban-rural gradients. She has previously worked with bats in Missouri, on projects collecting biological samples and acoustic tracking. When not catching bats, you can find her hiking with her dog, canoeing (also with her dog), and trying new restaurants (she loves a dog-friendly patio). After graduating, Aleana entered a PhD program at University of Michigan's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

Brad Bateman
Brad was an undergrad researcher in the lab studying Wildlife Biology. He enjoys gardening, baking, climbing trees, reading, and working as a math tutor. While in the lab, he gained experience in field study and research in preparation for graduate school. Brad went on to pursue a Master's degree with Dr. Alexander Wait — swapping bats for plants to study the endangered rivercane (Arundinaria gigantea).

Oscar Peterson
Oscar was an undergraduate researcher in the lab student studying wildlife biology. While in the lab, he focused on gaining research and field experience, especially in preparation for graduate school. His project focused on exploring sexually dimorphic coloration in eastern red bats. Oscar is now an undergraduate researcher in the bee lab with Dr. Avery Russell.

Claire Robertson
Claire helped in the lab her senior year of undergrad, interested in gaining more laboratory and programming experience in biological research. She had previously done fieldwork with bats through her experiences in environmental consulting. Claire presented her undergraduate research at the annual meeting of the Midwest Bat Working Group.

Joy White
Joy was an undergrad researcher in the lab who is interested is in community dynamics in aquatic macroinvertebrates. She evaluated the impacts of stream restoration initiatives on these communities for her undergraduate honors thesis project. Bats love these insects too, so we were excited to see her findings! Joy also enjoys cinema and participating in various performing arts.
