NWRC Research Scientists: Dr. Dustin H. Ranglack, PhD
Dr. Dustin Ranglack is the Predator Project Leader and Utah Field Station Leader for the National Wildlife Research Center. His research is focused on human-wildlife conflicts with predators. Studies include testing nonlethal tools for preventing conflict, measuring the impact of carnivores on livestock and wildlife species, and applied biology and ecology of large carnivores.
Research Project
The goals of this project are to generate and disseminate ecological information related to both mammalian and avian predator management, particularly aimed at reducing conflicts with livestock, humans, and native prey species.
Current Research
- Investigating the use of drones as a potential nonlethal hazing tool for reducing livestock depredation by wolves.
- Understanding the caching behavior of ravens in rangeland ecosystems.
- Non-lethal tools for reducing mountain lion conflicts.
