A Tequila That’s Always StraightTequila Cascahuín has its origins in 1904, with an

incomparable tradition in the tequila distillery. Cascahuín is located in the El Arenal region of Jalisco, commonly known as "The Gate of the Agave Landscape," because of its history and

tradition in the production of the beverage.

The word “Caschahuín,” inspired by the founder Salvador Rosales Briseño, originates from pre-Hispanic roots and is interpreted as a “Peak of Light” or “Festivity on the Peak”.

NASBR Board NominationsRegular Member (3)

LOREN AMMERMAN. My first NASBR meeting was in 1992 and I am proud of what this organization has become! I welcome the opportunity to serve on the board and do whatever I can to keep NASBR strong. I think that my background has prepared me for this position. My experience as Secretary-Treasurer with Texas Society of Mammalogists for 10 years provided experience planning and running meetings, taking minutes, budgeting, and accounting. I was the Managing Editor for Southwestern Naturalist for 3 years and converted the society to an online manuscript submission process. I served as secretary for Southwestern Association of Naturalists for 3 years and am currently on the Board of Governors for that organization. I have assisted the student awards committee for NASBR multiple times and for several other organizations. I have been involved with community outreach programs through my role as Curator of Tissues at the Angelo State Natural History Collection. Lastly, my experiences both applying for and administering multiple grants throughout my career have made me com-fortable with writing and budgeting skills. I am Professor of Biology at Angelo State University in San Angelo,

Texas where my primary responsibility is teaching undergraduates, but I also work with graduate students on an array of projects. My research interests are broad, including projects in molecular systematics, conservation genetics, and investigations into life history ad-aptations of poorly understood bat species. Currently, in Big Bend National Park, I am working with Mexican long-nosed bats and have recently concluded my 22nd year studying the changes in the bat community in the park.

ANNA DOTY. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Arkansas State University where I work on a collaborative project with Dr. Dan Wilson at the USFS and Dr. Thomas Risch at ASU. Specifically, we have de-veloped a novel method for the early detection of White-Nose Syndrome and bat species differentiation using an electronic nose (e-nose), typically used for disease monitoring in medical settings. Prior to my postdoctoral appointment, I earned my Ph.D. in Zoology at the University of New England in Armidale, Australia, my M.Sc. in Zoology at Nelson Mandela University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and my B.S. in Conservation and Resource Studies at U.C. Berkeley. My previous research has focused primarily on the physiological ecology of bats, as these animals are an ideal study order, exhibiting dramatic fluctuations in physiology over very short time frames. I have experience with conference organization, having assisted with organizing the 31st meeting of the Australia and New Zealand Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry in Armidale, NSW. I have

interned at a non-profit organization (Point Blue Conservation Science), have an understanding of endowments (recipient of a Hols-worth Wildlife Research Endowment, Australia), have experience with both local and national outreach through public presentations and media, and have a thorough understanding of fundraising and grant writing, having been a PI or Co-Investigator on a number of grants throughout my career. I am committed to continue my research on the physiological ecology of bats, and look forward to the possibility of integrating my research and organizational experience with the goals of the NASBR Board of Directors.

MICHAEL FISHMAN. Michael Fishman is a Technical Director at ERM, a global environmental consultancy, and adjunct biodiversity surveyor for the Roosevelt Wild Life Station. He conducts bat biodiversity surveys, ESA consultations, EIAs, permitting, and ecological research. Michael has worked with bats since 1991, including developing photographic hibernacula survey methods, summer biodiversity surveys, dispersal studies, WNS surveillance. His graduate research addressed Indiana bat habitat selection in New York, and he received the Organization for Bat Conservation Award in 2011 for his poster on post-WNS bat species distribution shifts. In 2012, he obtained grant funding and assembled a consortium of 3 federal agencies, a state agency, and a uni-versity to develop the Long Island Century Bat Survey, the largest scale bat survey conducted on Long Island, NY in more than 100 years. His bat work has recently expanded internationally, including field surveys in Suriname and Canada. He started attending NASBR conferences in 2003. Michael served as Chair and Co-Chair of the

Northeast Bat Working Group (NEBWG), and incorporated and obtained non-profit status for that organization. He was also President and Vice-President of the NY Chapter of The Wildlife Society, and Vice Chair of the Board of Governors of the New York State Wetlands Forum. Michael worked for the non-profit Wildlife Habitat Council for 2 years, as well. He is currently serving as President of the North-east Section of The Wildlife Society. Michael’s non-profit experience includes development of by-laws, budgeting, soliciting speakers, menu, and facility negotiation. He has also organized the following events: 1) Annual & Fall Field Meeting, Northeast Section, TWS 2018, 2) NASBR Annual Meeting 2014, Albany, NY (conference committee), 3) NEBWG Annual Meetings, 2012, 2013, 4) Annual & Fall Field Meetings, NY Chapter TWS, 2010-2013, 5) Annual & Fall Field Meetings for NY State Wetlands Forum from 2008-2012, 6) Wildlife Habitat Council’s Working with Wildlife Symposia, 1994-96.


NATE FULLER. This year in Mexico I will be celebrating my eleventh NASBR-niversary. Through graduate school, this society provided me valuable opportunities to build lasting collaborations and friendships in the bat world. I would be honored to serve on the Board to repay the debt I feel to the community. While I was a graduate student at Boston University, I served as a founding member and chair of the Biology Grad Student Association’s Social Committee. I am especially proud that I helped build a vibrant, collaborative, and friendly atmosphere among the graduate student community. Currently, I am a post-doc at Texas Tech University where my research focuses on winter bioenergetics of understudied western bat species and expert trailer maneu-vering. My experience outside academia includes work as an environmental consultant, where I served as a

project leader and Qualified Bat Surveyor. I have been active as an ambassador for bats in the public sector, participating in a number of magazine, radio, and TV interviews, in addition to several invited talks to local conservation societies. My goal as a Board Member is to maintain a high-quality conference experience by cultivating student involvement and growing the participation of agency part-ners, consultants, and vendors. I expect that my passion for outreach, proven leadership experience, and unwavering support for the students of NASBR will serve the society well.

ERIC GREEN. Eric Green is a wildlife ecologist with primary research interests in mammalian behavioral ecol-ogy. He earned his B.S. at Missouri State University where he trained with Dr. Lynn Robbins. While there, he aid-ed in threatened and endangered bat research projects, primarily Indiana and gray bats. There he also studied the nine-banded armadillo, resulting in a publication in The Southwestern Naturalist. He continued to earn his M.S. at Northern Arizona University (NAU) where he conducted a disease ecology study on coyotes and rocky mountain spotted fever, finding the first evidence of their exposure to the bacterial pathogen in AZ. While in AZ, he volunteered with the Arizona Game and Fish on their annual bat netting, with the NAU Bat and Genetics Lab summer netting, and co-led the annual summer netting for the Coconino National Forest wildlife crew. Eric continued to the University of Regina where he will focus his studies on the behavioral ecology of hoary bats

with Dr. Mark Brigham. Along with his academic and volunteer commitments, Eric has also served on the program committees with the American Society of Mammalogists and the March for Science - Flagstaff. Before continuing his education, he served in the United States Air Force for ten years, earning the rank of Technical Sergeant. While in the US Air Force his primary assignments were with electronics, though some of his duties also entailed budgeting and planning for events.

BURTON LIM. I was elected to the NASBR Board of Directors in 2013 at the Costa Rica meetings and my cur-rent term is finishing up this year. In Knoxville, the Board voted me in as Chair and I would like to continue in this capacity for another term to finish some initiatives that have just started. As former chair of the finance commit-tee, I am working with the current committee to set up endowment funds for some of our student awards, such as Villa and Koopman, to ensure their continuation in perpetuity. Also, I am chairing the 50th anniversary com-mittee and preparing for this milestone celebration in 2020 at Tempe, Arizona, with special invited guests and presentations. Prior to the Board, I co-hosted the 2011 NASBR meetings in Toronto, which gave me inspiration to

help out further such a great scientific organization. In fact, my experience with the society goes back to 1987 when the first Toronto meetings were held at the Royal Ontario Museum and I got hooked on bat research. I have been studying the biodiversity and evolu-tion of bats ever since as assistant curator of mammalogy at the ROM. This has given me the good fortune of traveling to 27 countries (and counting!) to conduct fieldwork on bats and small mammals in general, primarily in tropical areas. My educational background in biology includes a PhD from the University of Toronto and MSc from York University. I firmly believe in giving back and helping the scientific community that has stimulated my career growth. I am honoured to be an associate editor of our top bat research journal Acta Chiropterologica and have previously served as associate editor for Journal of Mammalogy. I would very much like to continue contributing to the success of NASBR for another term.

JONATHAN REICHARD. I am the assistant coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s national pro-gram for white-nose syndrome. As such, I have the great honor of working with many members of NASBR to advance our scientific understanding of bats, develop innovative studies, and apply research for the conserva-tion of bats. I entered this position after a long path enjoying and studying bats and sharing my appreciation for them with anyone who will listen. My training in bat biology began act Cornell University and evolved during positions as a volunteer in the Peace Corps in Mali and as a high school teacher in Boston. I investigat-ed ecology and physiology for my graduate research at Boston University. WNS broke out in the northeast as I was completing my dissertation and teaching at Simmons College, and I have been committed to that cause since. NASBR is at the heart of all these professional experiences. I believe our society provides a foundation of knowledge and perspectives that help make the scientific community working on and teaching about bats as strong as it is today. NASBR then builds on this foundation by encouraging members and forming collaborations to make great advances in science through research on bats. I am encouraged by the continued collegiality in

our society and as a board member, I would prioritize maintaining and bolstering our sense of community and collaboration for the betterment of bats and science. Among my strengths in this role, I will bring a history of building and maintaining partnerships, skills for coordinating continental efforts for research and conservation, commitment to communication, information sharing and inclusiveness, and perspectives on a variety of careers represented within NASBR.


SUSAN TSANG. I am a Research Associate of the American Museum of Natural History and the National Mu-seum of the Philippines. My research is focused on the evolution and biogeography of flying foxes and I have applied my expertise to collaborations in conservation and disease ecology. By day, I work as a consultant for NGOs and government agencies on addressing global conservation challenges and policy, particularly in wildlife trafficking, through my own consulting company, Biodiversitas Global LLC. I have previously acted as a science diplomat through my work as a Fulbright Research Fellow and AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow. I maintain multiple collaborations in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia and the Philippines, and act as the mentor and research advisor for multiple SE Asian students. I engage in bat conservation through community conservation and demand reduction projects to address hunting issues for flying foxes, and also serve on the steering committee of the Southeast Asian Bat Conservation Research Unit and as a Commission Member of

the IUCN Bat Specialist Group to address larger capacity building and assessment/policy needs. I firmly believe in taking an active role in promoting inclusive practices to reduce sexual and racial discrimination, and promoting policies to increase access to science for those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds and promoting talent retention. NASBR has and always will be my home no matter where my alternative academic career has taken me, and I am committed to service to the Society as an important aspect of my career as a bat researcher.

Student Representative (1)ALEXIS BROWN. My name is Alexis (Lexi) Brown, and I am currently a master's student at AMNH/Columbia Univeristy working on Neotropical bats and their ectoparasites. I have been studying and working with bats since I was 16 years old, and have held various relevant positions in research, outreach, and education. My long-term research experience has given me much insight and skill in grant writing and associated financial management/record-keeping. Additionally, I served as vice president of my undergraduate institution's chapter of the na-tional geology honor society, Sigma Gamma Epsilon. I organized events, meetings, field trips, and facilitated constructive interfacing between students and faculty. I have also participated in many different bat education and outreach programs, including giving presentations to local elementary schools, leading "bat walks" through Brookside County Park, NY, and volunteering with various bat education groups in the New York Metropolitan area to teach the public about bats. I believe I will be an exceptional NASBR student representative because of my passion and dedication to the fields of bat research and outreach. I have been attending NASBR meetings

since I was 18, and have always known I wanted to be as involved in this organization as I possibly could. NASBR is my favorite academic meeting to attend, and I hope to serve this community proudly as your student representative.

MELISSA INGALA. I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the American Museum of Natural History studying the evolution and ecology of Neotropical bat microbiomes. I think I would be a good candidate for student represen-tative due to my experience serving in similar capacities at my home institution. For example, I am the graduate student representative for the AMNH Women in Natural Sciences (WINS) group, an employee resource group that advocates for the needs of women and other minorities in our institution. Last year, I spearheaded and or-ganized a mental health workshop for students and post-docs as part of my involvement in WINS. I was also on the planning committee for the NYC March for Science in 2017, where I helped to organize teams to plan for the march. Since I consider NASBR my home conference and attend every year, it would be my pleasure to give back to NASBR as a society.

KRISTINA MUISE. It is through my admiration of the student focus and mentorship opportunities that I aim to be the student representative for NASBR. I am a strong candidate for this position, largely due to my past and current committee positions and administrative experience. During my B.Sc. (Honours) degree at the Uni-versity of Winnipeg (2010-2014), I was able to attend the 44thannual NASBR in Albany, NY, where I experienced firsthand the student mentorship opportunities. During my degree, I was involved in numerous organizations including the Students of Science Association where I had the positions of Officer (2011-2012) and Co-Vice Pres-ident (2012-2013). During these positions, I led in organizing various events including “Café Scientifique”, an event in which researchers and students could discuss science in a casual setting. In both years, I led organiza-tion of the annual fundraising social “Beaker Bash” in which venues, finances, and catering had to be organized. Additionally, in 2013-2014, I assisted in founding the Pre-Veterinary Club at the UofW. During this term, I as-

sisted in the preparation of numerous events intended to inform students about the requirements needed for vet school applications, as well as different aspects and careers within the profession. Currently, I am starting a Master’s degree in Bioscience, Technology and Public Policy at the UofW. I presently serve on the UofW Student Chapter of the Wildlife Society as the Graduate Student Representa-tive. Within this position, I am responsible for maintaining communication between the student chapter and graduate student mem-bers as well as helping organize chapter events. I am excited at the prospect of serving NASBR students as a Student Representative and I think my committee and administrative experience will be an asset to the Society for the upcoming term.

Tessa McBurney Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative (Mentor Type: Academic/NGO)I am currently the Atlantic Bat Conservation Project Technician for Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. My work includes writing best management practices for excluding bats from buildings, assisting with white-nose syndrome surveillance, conducting bat necropsies, analysing acoustic data, and radio-tagging bats. I have also managed the bat monitoring program at PEI National Park. I completed my honours thesis on utilising NABat mobile transects in an agricultural landscape at Trent University. In addition to bats, I have worked with several other species-at-risk, including Ontario turtle species and piping plover, and have experience in mist-netting northern saw-whet owls and passerines.

Loren Ammerman Angelo State University (Mentor Type: Academic)I am Professor of Biology at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas and serve as the Curator of Tissues at the Angelo State Natural History Collection. My research interests regarding bats are molecular systematics/phylogeography, life history strategies, and changes in species distribution. Most of my work takes place with students in Big Bend National Park and currently includes work with Mexican long-nosed bats and documenting changes in this bat community over the past 20 years. I would be glad to talk with others interested in a similar career path or that are interested in finding a graduate program!


Maria M. Ramirez Martinez Universidad de Guadalajara (Mentor Type: Academic)I´m professor from the Universidad de Guadalajara and I been working with bats 23 years ago. I have projects with bat-plant interactions (pollination and seed dispersal) in mountain forest. Currently I have two projects with bat: 1) zoonotical deseases and 2) bat flies diversity.

Richard Carter East Tennessee State University (Mentor Type: Academic)I am currently a new Assistant Professor at East Tennessee State University where I am developing a research lab. Prior to my current position my post doctoral experience was largely in teaching roles and I enjoy teaching as much as research. Currently, my lab is investigating the development of structures involved in echolocation and how broad developmental patterns can inform on how echolocation evolved in bats. My lab is also looking at how cave micro-climates affect species assemblages in winter cave hibernacula in the southern Appalachian Mountains. In my spare time I enjoy hiking with my family.

Sarah Hooper University of Missouri/ US Forest Service (Mentor Type: Academic/Government)I am a research veterinarian working towards building an interdisciplinary research program that is focused both on foundational knowledge discovery and on applied (translational) research. By developing or adapting new technology/techniques for studying cryptic species such as bats, my research is able to use these methodologies to address ecological questions and to focus on developing real-world solutions (applied research) to some of the greatest conservation challenges of our time. My particular research interest areas are (1) wildlife disease ecology, (2) wildlife and ecosystem health, and (3) nutritional ecology.

Bill Schutt LIU-Post/ American Museum of Natural History (Mentor Type: Academic/ Museum)Professor of Biology at LIU-Post; Research Associate @ American Museum of Natural History (Mammalogy); two dozen peer-reviewed articles on Bats; Author of General Readership Science Books (Dark Banquet; Blood and the Curious Live of Blood-feeding Creatures, Cannibalism: A Perfect Natural History); NASBR Board of Directors for 8 years. I can offer advice for students on topics including: balancing research with teaching at a smaller colleges; my adventures with the publishing industry; vampire bats; pubic speaking, interview techniques, etc. I was a Lunch Mentor in San Antonio and had a great time.

Susan Tsang American Museum of Natural History (Mentor Type: Government/Museum)I am a Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History and the National Museum of the Philippines. My research is on the evolution and biogeography of Southeast Asian flying foxes. I have conducted most of my bat conservation work as part of the steering committee of SEABCRU and with community-based programs with my SE Asian students and colleagues. I act as a consultant/subject matter expert to federal agencies, international governments, and NGOs to provide solutions and implementation for global conservation challenges. Previously, I was a AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow at USFWS HQ working on wildlife trafficking.

Anneka Lamb Tonkawa Tribe of Oklahoma (Mentor Type: Government) I am currently employed as the Wildlife Project Coordinator for the Tonkawa Tribe of Oklahoma. The position was created by a Tribal Wildlife Grant for bat conservation from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. My work includes acoustic research, outreach and education, and habitat restoration and improvement. Prior to accepting this position, I used the flexibility of my undergraduate program to spend about six months doing acoustic work with the USFWS for my senior project, where I gained both training and experience which set me up perfectly for my current employment.


Vikram Misra University of Saskatchewan (Mentor Type: Academic)I am a senior professor of Microbiology at the University of Saskatchewan. The goal of my research group is to explore the broad hypothesis that bats have long-term balanced and benign relationships with viruses with whom they have co-evolved, and that a variety of stressors disrupt this balance allowing increased viral replication. This increases the chances of the spillover of these viruses to humans and other animals. Our experimental strategy is to use cultured cells to address questions about the molecular mechanisms that govern bat-virus relationships and then to validate the results in free-living or experimental bats.

Amanda Adams Fort Hays State University (Mentor Type: Academic)I study bat ecology and behavior, mostly focusing on acoustics. I am a new faculty member at Fort Hays State University in Kansas teaching and conducting research. I recently was a postdoc at Texas A&M University studying bat echolocating in groups with Dr. Michael Smotherman. During my PhD with Dr. Brock Fenton I studied spatio-temporal variation in bat activity. I am passionate about bat conservation and management and love being in the field. I look forward to talking with students about life as a grad student and academic, impostor syndrome, professional development, personal branding, and hearing about your research interests.

David Boerma Brown University (Mentor Type: Academic)I consult with government agencies, NGOs and private entities on bat conservation and management issues, especially on bats in abandoned mines, and teach classes on bat natural history and field techniques. I began studying bat echolocation and hearing in 1968 as a graduate student at UCLA, and maintained a research scientist affiliation with UCLA until retirement in 2012. Since 1969, I have banded California leaf-nosed bats for a long-term study of movements and demography. For 40 years, I have conducted telemetry studies on several bat species in several habitats and countries, including tracking bats at night from airplanes.

R. Mark Brigham University of Regina (Mentor Type: Academic)University Professor. Have been undertaking and supervising bat research for several decades. I am always keen to chat with and discuss aspects of doing research with students.

Winifred Frick Bat Conservation International (Mentor Type: NGO)Chief Scientist at Bat Conservation International. I work at the interface of science and conservation to identify knowledge gaps, needs, and strategies to address global bat conservation. Specific fields/experience, include: international research, conservation, population ecology, white-nose syndrome, aeroecology, and nectar-feeding bats in Mexico. Also interesting in promoting women and diversity in science.
