José Martínez-Fonseca

José’s research focuses on improving our understanding of anthropogenic effects on wildlife at the landscape and species level. He uses landscape analysis and DNA metabarcoding to shed light on the ecology and habitat requirements of understudied bat species in the Neotropics.

Working in Dr. Faith Walker and Dr. Carol Chambers’ Bat Ecology and Genetics Lab, he was trained in lab techniques to process samples collected in Nicaragua. Moving forward, he will apply these techniques to other taxa, such as amphibians and reptiles, terrestrial mammals, and birds.
