Abstract
Through investigations of human-impacts on wildlife species, we've seen how our habits and inventions have greatly impacted our wild neighbors. Often, we highlight the negative aspects that are driving species toward extinction, and we tend to lose track of how amazingly adaptive wildlife can be. Dr. Laken Ganoe, Furbearer Biologist at the Rhode Island Division of Fish & Wildlife, will discuss some of her doctoral research on fisher movement and activity in a human-dominated landscape. She will discuss how these quiet, elusive critters - known for living in well forested areas - are adapting their behavior in urban landscapes to balance risk and reward in densely populated regions of Southern New England. Along with sharing some interesting work, Dr. Ganoe will also share some stories and photos of the fishers she captured and tracked in Rhode Island.
