SUMMARY:Navigating Coexistence: Mountain Lion Behavior\, Outdoor Recreation\, and the Challenges of Managing Multiuse Landscapes in California’s Santa Cruz Mountains
DESCRIPTION:John Morgan from the UCSC Environmental Studies Department\n\nIn Person Location: ISB 221 \nZoom Link \nAs outdoor recreation grows in popularity\, its effects on wildlife remain poorly understood. This dissertation examines how outdoor recreational activity shapes the behavior of mountain lions (Puma concolor) in California’s Santa Cruz Mountains – a fragmented landscape where large carnivores persist alongside urban and suburban human communities. Using high-resolution GPS data from collared mountain lions\, crowd-sourced human activity data from Strava\, and long-term camera trap surveys\, I investigate the mechanisms and consequences of human-carnivore interactions across multiple ecological and social scales. Specifically\, I ask how outdoor recreation affects mountain lion habitat selection\, movement behavior\, and population abundance; whether behavioral modification strategies can reduce human-carnivore conflict; and how land managers balance the competing goals of recreation access and wildlife conservation. Together\, this work contributes to a mechanistic understanding of recreation ecology and offers evidence-based guidance for managing multiuse landscapes that support both people and wildlife.

SUMMARY:Living Roots: The Promise of Perennial Foods
DESCRIPTION:Liz Carlisle from UC Santa Barbara\n\n\nIn Person Location: ISB 221 \nZoom Link \n\n\nLiving Roots makes the case for putting perennial foods at the center of our farms and our plates\, to add flavor and nutrients to our diets while reducing emissions and making our food system more resilient to climate change and economic uncertainty. With contributions from James Beard Award-winning chefs\, Macarthur genius grant-winning scientists\, and a host of farmers who are leading the way on perennializing agriculture\, the book takes readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the largest food forest in the United States\, the test plots developing the first commercial perennial grains\, and the vast grasslands where Indigenous communities are returning bison to their prairie homelands. In the process\, each contributor shares their unique story of learning with these long-lived plants about how to root deeper in the face of existential challenges\, speaking directly to readers charting their own path on a rapidly changing planet. This talk will open with a brief overview of the case for perennials\, followed by space for dialogue about perennial agroecology\, public scholarship\, and the collaborative and feminist methods that inform this project.
