Please join us for a webinar that will share insights on the complex relationships between wild horses and the predators they share their ranges with.
The webinar will be led by Dr. David Stoner, Assistant Professor of Wildlife Extension and Lecturer in the Department of Wildland Resources, Utah State University.
Dr. David Stoner conducts applied ecological research on large mammals at landscape scales; in other words, big animals across big geographic areas. He is particularly interested in large carnivores and their effects on prey species’ populations and distribution. Is predation a solution for management of wild horses or burros? What level of predation would be necessary to hold horse populations within the carrying capacities of their habitats? The dynamics of predator-prey interactions are fascinatingly complex, and not without their own limitations. Dr. Stoner will discuss some of these interactions, and talk to us about what’s being studied across the west when it comes to mountain lion, wolf, and wild horse relationships.
