Episode #177 Cara Love - Wolves of Chernobyl
Cara Love is an Evolutionary Biologist and Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. She has been studying wolves in the exclusion zone of Chernobyl for over a decade. Cara’s goal is to help further our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary ramifications anthropogenic stressors have on wildlife populations.
Cara described her research on how wolves are surviving in and around Chernobyl, the ways in which they are collecting data, and how radiation exposure in wolf populations could lead to possible cancer fighting genetics.
