Investigaciones en curso

From bighorn sheep in the Sierras of California to mule deer in central Wyoming, we study what makes ungulates and their populations tick.

Cada uno de nuestros proyectos es un poco diferente, pero tendemos a tener temas comunes en la mayoría de nuestros proyectos: ecología nutricional, un enfoque individual y datos a largo plazo. Al estudiar la ecología nutricional, podemos aprender cómo el hábitat y otros factores ambientales influyen en los individuos y luego comprender cómo los individuos se unen para formar una población completa. Al observar a los individuos y las poblaciones durante muchos años, comenzamos a tener una mejor idea de lo que impulsa a las poblaciones.

A bighorn sheep ewe is laying down in short alpine plants. She has closed her eyes just slightly and is leaning against a lamb. The lamb is facing away from the camera, with a hesitant look on its face.

Proyecto de la recuperación del borrego cimarrón de la Sierra Nevada

A mule deer buck with large antlers (4 points on each side) and a thick neck stands in chest-high sagebrush, looking directly at the camera. The buck is wearing a GPS collar around his neck. The buck’s coat matches the colors of the sagebrush.

Proyecto de ciervos mula de la cordillera de Wyoming

A mule deer in her summer coat walks up a hill covered in red soil. There are a few juniper trees and patches of short shrubs, but otherwise the landscape is mostly soil. She is wearing a GPS collar, and appears to be glancing at the camera out of the side of her eye.
