About this Webinar:
Coyotes are flexible predators that shift from hunting berries, insects, and rodents to hunting large ungulates, to scavenging carcasses of native ungulates and livestock. In this presentation, I will describe findings from long-term research into the behaviour and ecology of coyotes, deer, and ground squirrels at the McIntyre Ranch in southern Alberta. These findings led to more recent work in southwest Saskatchewan to document the coyote’s consumption of, and interactions with, ground squirrels, deer, and cattle.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Susan Lingle holds a MSc degree in Environmental Science from the University of Calgary, a PhD in Zoology from Cambridge University, UK, and has been a faculty member at the University of Winnipeg since 2008. Dr. Lingle and her students have conducted research into the behaviour and ecology of prey (white-tailed deer, mule deer, ground squirrels) and their predators (coyotes) at the McIntyre Ranch in southern Alberta since 1993 and more recently extended this research to predators and prey in southwest Saskatchewan. Dr. Lingle quickly grew to appreciate the biodiversity of the prairie and the essential role that ranchers and ranching have in conserving Canada’s grasslands after starting to conduct research at the McIntyre Ranch.
