The Point Reyes Field Station is about 30 miles north of San Francisco.
The Point Reyes Field Station is located at Point Reyes National Seashore, about 30 miles north of San Francisco. Staff conduct research on the ecology and population status of amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, and carnivores. Current research focuses primarily on declining amphibians throughout most of the non-desert parts of California with most of the field work taking place in the Sierra Nevada mountains and the California Coast range. Additional research projects includes ecological studies of bats and the development of inventory and monitoring techniques. Station staff work closely with the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense, California Dept. of Fish and Game, as well as various local agencies.

- Overview
The Point Reyes Field Station is about 30 miles north of San Francisco.
Bats are an example of a migratory species for which the social and economic values of bat habitat provision, an ecosystem service, can vary along the migration route.(Public domain.)

Ecology and Conservation of Amphibians in Northern California
This project improves our understanding of the ecology of amphibians in northern California and evaluates methods of managing landscapes and these imperiled species. In particular, Dr. Brian Halstead examines the distribution and demography of amphibians to understand factors that affect where amphibians are found and how populations change. He further explores the relationships of amphibians with...Bat Research in California
The primary goal of this bat research program is to develop projects that increase our understanding of basic ecology and natural history of western bat species, while simultaneously providing needed data to inform conservation measures and management decisions in the West. Dr. Brian Halstead, together with Gabriel Reyes, studies the habitat and resource selection, movement ecology, demography... - Multimedia
