OverviewAI-generated summary
Reilly T. Jackson's research focuses on wildlife ecology and conservation, with a particular emphasis on bat disease ecology. Jackson's work aims to apply research findings to inform wildlife management strategies and reduce human-wildlife interactions that could lead to pathogen spillover. Recent publications investigate the winter diets of hibernating bats in the United States, the ecology of rodent-borne orthohantaviruses, and the variation in winter torpor expression among bat species susceptible to white-nose syndrome. Additionally, Jackson has explored roost selection by bats in rural Kenya, examining the implications for human-wildlife conflict and zoonotic pathogen spillover, and the impact of bats using anthropogenic structures on both bats and humans. Jackson has 27 publications, with an h-index of 6 and 170 total citations.
