Bobcats in the 'Burbs: How Human Development and Activity in New England Alters Activity of an Elusive Carnivore. The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a solitary and elusive figure of the New England woods. Despite increased habitat loss and habitat fragmentation due to human development, bobcat populations have remained stable across much of the region.
In this talk, Mairi Poisson will discuss the intriguing natural history of the bobcat in New England, how bobcats have adjusted to increased human presence on the landscape, and what that means for other native species. Mairi Poisson is currently a PhD candidate at the University of New Hampshire in the Wildlife Modeling and Management Lab.
Held in Mather Auditorium. Suggested donation: $5/person. No registration required.
