Science Inquiry Series: The Story of Moose, Beavers and Willow in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness
November 19 @ 6:30pm
How have beaver reintroduction and shifts in the moose population influenced riparian vegetation in the southern Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness over the last 40 years? Rachel Dines, Ph.D. candidate in the MSU Department of Animal and Range Sciences, will discuss how these animals rely on riparian ecosystems for food, cover, and as travel corridors, and will summarize her research examining long-term monitoring data for these riparian areas.
