BrainFood for the Curious: Canine Contrasts with Dr. Jeremy Kirchman

12 pm
Huxley Theater
Free

Explore the genetic and physical differences between wolves and coyotes by joining Dr. Jeremy Kirchman as he sheds light on the historical decline of wolves and the colonization of coyotes in New York. Learn how the history of coyote-wolf hybridization has made it difficult, for hunters and wildlife management agencies, to distinguish our ubiquitous eastern coyote from the occasional wolf that wanders outside of its core breeding range in neighboring Canada.  

This program includes a 20-minute talk, and a brief Q&A. Participants are welcome to bring their lunches.
