Research

I am currently working in Eidolon helvum with respect to genetic diversity and dietary composition in three sites with two states in southwest Nigeria.

I am a volunteer with Batlife Conservation Initiative where I volunteer to monitor Eidolon helvum as well. I have been part of training in bat handling and data analysis in workshops and summer schools.

I am interested in being a part of Eidolon helvum bats monitoring and I believe that volunteering with the network will expand and improve my expertise.
