Jonathan Plis sner\, PhD\, is a senior scientist with ABR\, Inc. Environmental Researc h and Services and has been studying bird populations and behaviors for 30 years. His presentation will focus on nocturnal activities and adapta tions of various groups of birds\, as well as the risks these birds face in navigating landscapes altered by human beings. \;\n \;\nThe Bi ology\, Behavior &\; Benefits of Bats \;\nBats are essential to th e health of our natural world. They help control pests and are vital pol linators and seed-dispersers for countless plants. Yet these wonderfully diverse and beneficial creatures are among the least studied and most m isunderstood of animals. Cris Hein\, PhD\, is a biologist with Bat Conse rvation International and has been studying bat behavior and ecology for 14 years. Cris will discuss the amazing adaptations of these nocturnal animals and their importance to humans and the environment. \;\n \ ;\n_________ \;\n \;\n*A note on the suggested cover: Nerd Nite is completely supported by money collected at the door.
