Desert Dialogues – Bats in Myth and Reality
April 10 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Thursday, April 10th | 1 – 2:30 pm | Wilson Room
Join Dr. Ted Fleming to learn more about these fascinating flying mammals! We’ll explore the diversity of bats, their importance in ecosystems across the world, and hear about Dr. Fleming’s ongoing research with the lesser long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae) as it visits hummingbird feeders here in southern Arizona from mid-August to late October. Theodore H. Fleming is a professor emeritus of biology at the University of Miami. Fleming’s research on nectar- and fruit-eating bats and their food plants has taken him to Panama, Costa Rica, Australia, and the Sonoran Desert of Mexico and Arizona.
