OverviewAI-generated summary

Reilly T. Jackson's research focuses on wildlife disease ecology, with an emphasis on applying findings to wildlife management and conservation efforts. Jackson's work investigates how human-wildlife interactions, particularly those involving bats and modern anthropogenic structures in rural Kenya, can increase the risk of zoonotic pathogen spillover. This research also examines bat disease ecology in the United States, including studies on winter torpor expression and dietary habits in species susceptible to white-nose syndrome. Jackson's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 6, with 26 total publications and 161 total citations. Key collaborators include Kristian M. Forbes, Isabella K. DeAnglis, Maureen R. McClung, and Tamika J Lunn.
