Post (Square)).png]Many describe the sagebrush steppe as “drive-through
country,” a “barren wasteland,” or the “sagebrush sea.” These labels belie
the complexity and fascinating ecology of our North American sagebrush
habitats. This talk will challenge such misconceptions and guide us on an
immersive journey through the sagebrush sea, while showcasing some of the
behaviors and natural history of lesser known and appreciated species of
birds and a charismatic “mini mammal.” The presentation also will highlight
the impacts of ongoing human-induced habitat changes in the sagebrush
steppe and describe a case study demonstrating how rigorous and longer term
scientific investigation can illuminate practical strategies for addressing
species' declines amidst modern land use pressures.
Dr. Anna Chalfoun is a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey
and serves as the Assistant Unit Leader for Wildlife at the Wyoming
Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. She is an associate professor
at the University of Wyoming and a Fellow and Council Member of the
American Ornithological Society and a recipient of the prestigious
Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
Chalfoun lab's research program works to understand wildlife-habitat
relationships, and particularly why animals choose the habitats that they
do in a changing world. Projects span diverse taxa including birds, small
mammals and amphibians, and habitat types, with a focus on sagebrush
steppe. Most projects are developed in collaboration with state and federal
partners to address real-world conservation challenges..
