Presentations
Link to Vimeo video: 1st presentation. I gave this webinar to The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Committee on Assessing the Taxonomic Status of the Red Wolf and the Mexican Gray Wolf. I carried on a bit too long at the start of the talk which didn't leave me much time to finish my talk. This isn't unusual for me, but I thought my talk was adequate for what the committee requested. A few weeks later, the committee invited me to give a second one.
Link to Vimeo video: 2nd presentation. My talk starts around the 29:00 mark. This is the second webinar I gave to The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Committee on Assessing the Taxonomic Status of the Red Wolf and the Mexican Gray Wolf. I dislike using Power Point and was afraid I would miscalculate my allotted time, so I opted to provide comments without visual aids. My comments to the committee focused on differentiating red wolf behavior from other Canis species.
This was the first webinar I gave for the Wolf Conservation Center. I gave this talk a few weeks before the deadline to submit comments on the USFWS's proposed rule changes to red wolf recovery. I used this webinar to provide the public some context on recovery efforts in NC, as well providing context on the USFWS's decision to scale back the program.
This is a webinar on red wolves and was hosted by the Wolf Conservation Center. Although some of the material on my research can be found in other talks I've given, I spent some time during this webinar discussing some of the ecological theory underpinning my research, as well as the evolution of red wolves.
Another webinar I provided for the Wolf Conservation Center. This one focused on the ecology of eastern coyotes. Admittedly, I jammed too much information into this talk and turned what should have been a 45 minute webinar into a 90 minute one. Oof!

I took the lead on writing two scientific responses opposing the USFW's proposed changes to red wolf recovery. The USFWS's proposed changes are designed to eventually terminate the project in eastern NC. Fortunately, other scientists, citizens, and environmental organizations also provided overwhelming support for red wolf recovery in NC. The Wildlands Network's summary of the public comments can be found here.
