NWRC Research Scientists: Allison Kohler
Dr. Alison Kohler is a Wildlife Biologist in the Wildlife Repellents Research Project at the NWRC in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Dr. Kohler's dedication to the natural world has culminated in the formation of a unique and multifaceted ecological skillset. Since her undergraduate studies in Wisconsin where she studied mammalian fluorescence, Dr. Kohler has been interested in exploring wildlife communication and its applications for wildlife damage management. Her current research focuses on the development of novel, non-lethal, and sustainable repellents to curtail human-wildlife conflict.
