There are 16 species of bats in Arkansas and Phillip will present some of the life histories of Arkansas bats, review the economics of having bats around, and finish off with current threats.

Phillip is with the Southern Research Station, a branch of the USDA Forest Service in Hot Springs, AR., While he is interested in all wildlife, he is especially passionate about bats. For the last 12 years, he has studied bats across Arkansas and took several trips to Nicaragua.

He earned a B.S. in Wildlife Ecology and Management in 2010 and an M.S. in Biology in 2014 both from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. His thesis focused on bat deaths/interactions with wind turbines in Arkansas.
