Antlers of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Old bones provide new insights into caribou ecology and management

This event will be presented digitally via Zoom.

Presenter – Joshua Miller, Ph.D.

Accumulations of bones lying on landscape surfaces can come from generations of wildlife that predate biomonitoring programs, offering opportunities to establish historical ecological baselines for modern populations. In this talk, we will explore the utility of such records for understanding arctic caribou and how historical ecological data can be incorporated into management strategies for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Joshua Miller studies accumulations of bones on modern landscapes to establish historical contexts for species’ geographic use, interactions with other species, and population change through time. Dr. Miller received his Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology from The University of Chicago and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Geology Department of the University of Cincinnati.
