PNW SciCast Webinar: Wild Appetites - How Human Disturbances Alter Carnivore Foraging
Humans are nearly ubiquitous in forested landscapes, with widespread impacts on wildlife. The Wild Appetites webinar will focus on how disturbances like urbanization, recreation, and human food subsidies alter carnivore diets and foraging behaviors. As a Research Wildlife Biologist with PNW, Dr. Manlick studies the impacts of disturbance on wildlife and will discuss his past and present research human-wildlife interactions.
