Lunchtime Expedition: Listening for Bats
2026-03-19 12:00 - 13:30 | Buffalo Bill Center of the West, BBCW | 720 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
Join Dr. Jason Riggio, Assistant Project Scientist at the University of California, Davis, for a fascinating talk on the Absaroka Bat Census. The Absaroka Bat Census, begun in 2022, aims to study bat diversity, seasonality, and distribution in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Data from this research provides important information on bat occupancy and habitat use patterns in the region. Dr. Riggio reveals preliminary results from the three-year project.
Abstract from the talk:
As the sun sets over the Absaroka Mountains, bats take to the sky—but how high up the mountain do they go? For three summers, we carried acoustic detectors from montane forests near Cody, Wyoming, through subalpine woodlands and into alpine tundra above treeline, listening for the ultrasonic echoes of bats in places few people have looked before. What we found surprised us: eight species using habitats up to 11,800 feet in elevation, including several detected higher than previously documented in the region. In this talk, I’ll share how we use sound to study these elusive mammals and what new analyses reveal about how bat occupancy and habitat use shift along the mountain’s elevational gradient. Our results suggest that even the windswept alpine—often thought of as too cold, too harsh, or too barren—may be an important part of the nighttime world of bats in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

Leon G. Higley is a Professor of Applied Ecology and Forensic Science in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He has a BA in chemistry from Cornell University and an MS in entomology and PhD in entomology and crop physiology from Iowa State University. He is an insect ecologist, with specific research areas including forensic entomology, thermal biology, plant physiological responses to insect injury (particularly photosynthesis), pest management decision making, and other issues in ecophysiology. As a forensic entomologist, Higley has contributed to 21 homicide investigations and 5 civil cases. Based on his research in Yellowstone National Park, he is co-inventor with Robert Peterson at Montana State University of “a process for establishing uniform liquid films on polar and non-polar substrates”, which received a U.S. patent in 2025. He has advised 30 MS and PhD students, who are now employed professionally with state and federal agencies, colleges, and private industry. Higley is the recipient of various research and teaching awards, including the NCB-ESA C. V. Riley Award, the Entomological Society of America Distinguished Achievement Award in Teaching and the Founders Memorial Award. He is the author of over 150 peer-reviewed publications, 27 book chapters, and 6 books. Higley also serves as an editorial board member for the journals Biology and Insects. He is an avid nature photographer (particularly of insects) and has exhibited in five gallery and professional showings.
Summary of Dr. Higley’s abstract:
The tiger beetle Cicindela haemorrhagica thrives in Yellowstone’s thermal pools, tolerating extreme heat, acidic water, and heavy metals. Researchers discovered unique adaptations: water-retaining abdominal grooves for cooling, infrared-reflecting abdomens, and heavy-metal sequestration in their exoskeleton. These features make it a top insect predator and one of North America’s most remarkable species.

Robyn Cutter Presents: “Mail Order Brides of the Old West”
2026-04-02 14:00 | Meeteetse Museums
Join us at the Meeteetse Museums on April 2, 2026, at 2:00 for a presentation by Park County Archivist Robyn Cutter. This talk explores the history of mail-order brides in the American West. Robyn previously gave this talk in Cody in February 2026.
Drawing from historical records and archival research, Cutter will examine how the phenomenon of mail-order brides emerged in the American West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the gold rush and westward expansion brought large numbers of men across the Rocky Mountains to mining camps and developing towns, women were vastly outnumbered. While only a few prospectors found great wealth, many men stayed in the region to ranch, farm, hunt, mine, or open businesses, creating the foundation for permanent communities.
As these towns grew, the desire to establish families and stable communities increased. Cutter’s presentation will discuss how single women from the eastern United States were encouraged to travel west to marry, the circumstances that led to these arrangements, and the realities these women faced as they began new lives in unfamiliar and often challenging environments.

Wyoming Aquatic Invasive Species Inspector Training
2026-04-03 09:00 - 16:00 | Cody Game & Fish Regional Office, 5 Tilden Trail, Cody, WY
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is offering training for members of the public to become certified Wyoming aquatic invasive species inspectors. These trainings provide the necessary skills to inspect personally-owned and other watercraft.
The training includes information on basic biology of invasive species, the impacts and distribution of AIS and their common transport vectors. It includes classroom instruction and a hands-on watercraft inspection exercise, culminating in a certification exam. The training is free and open to anyone.
AIS can be animals such as zebra and quagga mussels, New Zealand mudsnails or aquatic vegetation such as curly pondweed.
“Aquatic invasive species pose a serious threat to Wyoming’s water resources, impacting agriculture, municipalities and wildlife. Invasive species disrupt ecosystems and harm native species and prized fisheries,” said Josh Leonard, Game and Fish aquatic invasive species coordinator. “Public education about AIS, inspection techniques and proper boat maintenance, including Clean, Drain and Dry practice guidelines, is vital to safeguarding Wyoming’s waters.”
Trainings are offered statewide as a one-day course from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. throughout the spring. The registration deadline is one week prior to the class date. The public can register using the Game and Fish’s online application.
