Research Interests

My work primarily focuses on understanding bat (and other mammal) extinctions and speciation processes. In the Soto Lab of Bat Biology (SLaBB), we use cutting edge bioinformatic approaches to examine environmental, genetic, and morphological data together to help us evaluate hypotheses about the evolutionary processes that shaped bats (and other mammals) across space and time. This work relies strongly on natural history collection specimen data, field work, and laboratory studies. Areas of research in the SLaBB include: demography, community composition, extinction, natural history, paleontology, phylogeography, population connectivity, species distribution modeling, species delimitation, and systematics of mammals.
