Biography

Dr Kolkert is a fauna ecologist specialising in threatened species management. Heidi's current and past research focuses on insectivorous bats in agri-ecosystems and the acoustic analysis of bat echolocation and other fauna sounds.

Heidi’s research also examines wildlife interactions in agri-ecosystems and the impacts of environmental disturbance (roads, renewable energy) and land-use change on wildlife communities, species interactions, and natural history.

Heidi also serves as Collections Manager of the UNE Natural History Museum.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
