Lunchtime Expedition: Raven Research in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
Join the Draper Natural History Museum for the March Lunchtime Expedition, when Dr. John Marzluff, Professor of Wildlife Science at the University of Washington, discusses his research of ravens in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
While talks in our Lunchtime Expedition series are not live streamed, they will be recorded and posted to the Draper Museum’s YouTube channel within a couple days after they take place.
Marzluff is Professor of Wildlife Science in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington. He is a Fellow of the American Ornithologist’s Union, as well as the leader of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Recovery Team for the critically endangered Mariana Crow.
According to his University of Washington biography, he “has long been fascinated by the amazing feats of crows and ravens and has wondered about the ways in which they have adapted and evolved in their ongoing cohabitation with humans.” In his research, Marzluff blends biology, conservation, and anthropology in his study of if and how animal and human cultures have co-evolved.
Marzluff did his graduate work at Northern Arizona University and his post-doctoral work at the University of Vermont. He has co-authored two books with Tony Angell: In the Company of Crows and Ravens and Gifts of the Crow: How Perception, Emotion, and Thought Allow Smart Birds to Behave Like Humans. He also co-authored, with Colleen Marzluff, Dog Days, Raven Nights.
