About the editors
Dr. Winifred Frick is the Senior Director of Conservation Science at Bat Conservation International and adjunct faculty in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California Santa Cruz. She received a B.A. in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Cruz and a Ph.D. at Oregon State University. Her research focuses on understanding how bat populations respond to natural and anthropogenic stressors and how science can be used to inform conservation decisions. She currently leads BCI's conservation science department and directs global bat conservation initiatives that target reducing threats and protecting globally endangered bats through research innovation and increasing capacity and local stakeholder involvement in conservation.
Dr. Jeffrey Kelly is the Director of the Oklahoma Biological Survey and a Professor of Biology at the University of Oklahoma. He received a BS in Wildlife Management from the University of Maine, an MS in Zoology from Oklahoma State University, and a PhD in Biology from Colorado State University. Dr. Kelly’s current research focuses on migratory macrosystems and interdisciplinary studies of human-wildlife conflicts in the lower atmosphere that emerge from rapid growth of telecommunication, energy, transportation, and commerce infrastructure in this habitat.
Dr. Felix Liechti is the director of the Bird migration research department at the Swiss Ornithological Institute, a private science foundation. He received is MS in Zoology at the University of Zurich, and a PhD in Biology from the University of Basel. Dr. Liechti's research focuses on quantifying the general patterns in bird migration in relation as well as investigating the individual patterns and flight behaviour of self-powerd Trans-Sahara migrants. Both topics aim on identifying the importance of environmental factors for the life history traits of bird migrants. This also includes contracted research on to the impact of wind turbines on bird movements.
