Megan Perra, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry

Megan is a PhD student in the Gurarie lab interested in how biological cues like soundscapes and interspecific vocalizations influence movement decision making in caribou.  More simply: Do caribou eavesdrop on the soundscape to help them find good habitat patches?  She completed her masters at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where she studied caribou auditory physiology and the soundscapes of the Arctic Coastal Plain.

Anne Gunn, CircumArctic Rangifer Monitoring and Assessment Network

After university in the UK and Ireland, Anne came to Canada to work in the Arctic – a dream realized in the 1970s.  She eventually settled down with the Government of the NWT (1979-2006) as the regional biologist in the central Arctic and then the Caribou Biologist based in Yellowknife. Then by 2006, Anne continued with caribou but for aboriginal co-management boards and councils including the Wek’èezhìi Renewable Resource Board and Kivalliq Inuit Association.

Elie Gurarie, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry

Dr. Elie Gurarie is a professor of quantitative wildlife ecology in the Department of Environmental Biology at SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry.  Dr. Gurarie develops novel approaches to understanding complex ecological processes, with a particular interest in animal movements, behaviors, space-use, cognition and links to populations and demography. After extensive field experience studying marine mammals in the North Pacific and wolves in Finland (and dabbling in dozens of other systems), it is now the Fate of the Caribou that keeps him up at night.
