Learn about our interactions with regional wildlife with Gallatin Valley Friends of the Sciences, whose popular lecture series continues its season this month with all new subject matter. Co-sponsored by Museum of the Rockies and Hopa Mountain, the next talk of the ’24-’25 series is set for Wednesday, November 13th. “Is an Anthropogenic Planet Domesticating Wildlife? The Case of Coyotes & Gray Wolves in the American West” will begin at 6pm. It will be held in MOR’s Hager Auditorium.
Humans have transformed every ecosystem on Earth – how is wildlife coping with this immense and rapid ecological change? Dr. Joanna Lambert, professor of ecology and conservation biology at the University of Colorado – Boulder, will discuss her research on how life in the Anthropocene impacts wildlife and their behavioral interactions with humans as we compete over shrinking habitat – with emphasis on the case of coyotes and gray wolves and implications for wildlife management and conservation.
