S1 E5: Predator Ecology with Aaron Wirsing
Aaron Wirsing is an ecologist with the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences studying predator-prey interactions.
On this episode of FieldSound, Wirsing discusses his research in both terrestrial and aquatic systems, the ways that top predators, such as grey wolves and tiger sharks, shape their ecosystems and how humans affect predator-prey interactions through processes such as urbanization and climate change.
The Predator Ecology Lab seeks to help better understand how predators influence their surroundings by interacting with their prey and seeks solutions to the challenges of large carnivore conservation & management in the changing world.
