The Meeteetse Museums will continue a speaker series on human and wildlife interactions with a presentation by Arthur Middleton on Wednesday evening. Titled “The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem through the eyes of its migratory wildlife,” the virtual program begins at 6 p.m. via Zoom and Facebook Live.
Middleton will talk about the ecology and conservation of the ungulate migrations of the Greater Yellowstone, with emphasis on the multispecies corridors between the Absaroka Front and Yellowstone National Park.
Middleton’s earliest work with wildlife was as a falconer and raptor biologist. He later pursued graduate training in environmental management at Yale University, and in ecology at the University of Wyoming.
Middleton is an assistant professor of wildlife management and policy at UC Berkeley. He also currently serves as a trustee and a research associate of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and a science adviser to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. In summers, Middleton and his family live in Cody, where he conducts much of his field research.
His presentation is the second in a summer-long series hosted by Meeteetse Museums. The seminars will address current research in the Greater Yellowstone while also exploring how global human and wildlife interactions are handled.
Each presentation will be held on a virtual platform. The presentation will be available through the Meeteetse Museums Facebook page. To watch Middleton’s presentation via Zoom, use the link: tinyurl.com/y8lsp9cp with the password: 812018.
