Dr. Joanna Lambert, University of Colorado - Canids/Dogs

WILDERNESS & WILDLIFE

This is our third interview with Dr. Joanna Lambert, Professor at the University of Colorado in Boulder – in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Lambert also serves as advisor to the United Nations Environmental Program and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Dr. Lambert is an elected Fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Linnean Society of London. She has published hundreds of scientific articles and several books and has spent the last 30 years of her career investigating mammal ecology in remote landscapes around the world. Most recently, she has been researching coyotes in areas with wolves, like Yellowstone National Park and areas without wolves, like Colorado. In her extra time, she rides horses, plays with her two dogs, or gets lost in the mountains. In addition to her teaching about mammal ecology, especially primates, Dr. Lambert teaches some courses on dogs at the University and, since dogs are descended from wild canids, I wanted to ask her about DOGS.
