Proud and happy to publish the first paper my PhD project with an amazing team of co-authors! We explore how fear, using predator playbacks, influences not only ungulate behavior, but also modify their impact on the landscape. SLU Wild Research Zanette Lab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper from the lab experimentally demonstrating that white-tailed deer fear the human “super-predator” more than wolves, dogs, cougars, or coyotes! Great collaboration with Daniel Crawford, Mike Conner from The Jones Center at Ichauway, & Mike Cherry from Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute. rdcu.be/cEhvE

Fear of predators can halve wildlife populations in 5 years or less. In a new PNAS paper we experimentally demonstrate for the 1st time in any wild animal that fear itself can reduce prey population growth rates & include impacts extending over generations pnas.org/content/119/7/…

Check out our latest paper where we show that bark stripping by red deer is influenced by the proximity of an energy-rich crop! 🦌🌱besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/26…
