Let's explore the effects of urbanization and industrialization on wildlife behavior, conservation strategies, and what the unique personalities of our urban wildlife neighbors can tell us about behavioral adaptation and societal inequities.
Guests:Dr. Lauren Stanton is a cognitive ecologist with expertise on behavioral adaptation to urban environments. She primarily studies raccoons, and other urban carnivores like coyotes, skunks, and foxes. As a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley, she is working with Dr. Chris Schell to understand the effects of societal inequity on urban carnivores and their interactions with people.
