Genetic data on wide-ranging wildlife species can inform population structure, management decisions, and landscape connectivity. The genetic structure of a population can change over time, alongside c...

Scientists hope understanding coyote widowhood will someday help humans in their own grief.

The California Farm Bureau Federation advocates for California farmers, ranchers, and family farms, promoting sustainable agriculture and education.

Competition between carnivores and scavengers can alter predation rates and foraging behavior, shaping the effects of predation on complex community dynamics. The perceived risks of conflict and reso...

Introduced species can disrupt trophic interactions by acting as novel predators, prey, or scavengers. Predicting the impacts of these disruptions can be integral to the conservation of native specie...

Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to s...

Introduced species have diverse impacts on native wildlife and ecosystems. Negative effects of introduced species on native species through competition or amensalism are frequently hypothesized, but ...

Video from the coast of British Columbia may be the first documented instance of a wild wolf using a tool, according to the researchers who published it on Monday.

Field technician: Utah State University, Department of Wildland Resources Project: Mesocarnivore urban ecology. Description: We are seeking a field technician to capture and fit GPS collars on coyotes...

Diverse factors, including environmental features and cognitive processes, can drive animals’ movements and space use, with far-reaching implicatio...

A tense scene between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in their 2019 film “Marriage Story” was great bait for 2020 Oscar voters but apparently there’s another wild species that’s not a fan.

Diversionary feeding—providing food caches to divert predators away from preying on livestock—is a strategy to reduce depredations by Mexican gray wolves but has not been evaluated for its effectiven...

Abstract. Human–wildlife interactions (HWIs) influence the health of humans and wildlife but a unifying framework is needed to understand the causes of HWI

Prey species adjust their behavior along human-use gradients by balancing risks from predators and humans. During hunting seasons, prey often exhibit strong antipredator responses to humans but may d....

There are no graduate student opportunities to join the Young lab at this time.  Julie anticipates advertising for a PhD student to start ~Jan 2026 to work on an urban mesocarnivore study with...

Dr. Julie K. Young's research program focuses on the behavior, ecology, and management of terrestrial mammals, with a goal of reducing human-wildlife conflicts and increasing coexistence. While her...
