Biography
Heather Bateman grew up in western Colorado and attended college in Idaho. Graduate school took her to the Northwest to pursue a master's degree researching the effects of prescribed burns on cavity-nesting birds and also provided the opportunity to work for a non-profit conservation organization. Doctoral work in New Mexico provided a beautiful setting to study the effects of non-native plant removal on reptiles and amphibians along the Middle Rio Grande. This research was in collaboration with the USDA Forest Service and a postdoctoral position followed in Montana.
Bateman is a field ecologist and conservation biologist interested in how human land-use affects vertebrate populations and habitats, especially in riparian ecosystems. Her research interests lie in exploring wildlife responses to habitat alteration, with a particular interest in amphibians, reptiles, and birds. Current projects include research to link instream flows to terrestrial wildlife in Southwestern riparian areas. Other research avenues include exploring urban ecology and the social-ecological factors predicting human-wildlife interactions. By partnering with social scientists, this interdisciplinary work shows that urban areas (including nature) are inequitably distributed in cities and that people’s perceptions of wildlife vary and may influence action - such as, how they maintain residential yards or engaging in wildlife rescue.
Bateman holds memberships with the Wildlife Society, Society for Ecological Restoration, and Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles.
Bateman has be awarded Outstanding Master's Advisor by ASU Graduate College and recipient of the Charlie Painter Memorial Award in Herpetology by Southwest PARC.
