... that the AIP framework alone doesn't?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

It's such a good question.

Um, yeah, kind of like I was explaining, I just, I learned very quickly that with the gut information specifically.

There's other good information, you know, that can be really helpful as well.

Um, the gut piece often gets missed f- uh, for, I, I don't understand why.

What does somebody, um, like what does someone walk away with from that initial testing and your, that consultation?

Well, tell us a little bit about your research and why you're trapping foxes.

Yeah, so this project has kind of been um, coming into itself for a long time.

The park has historically monitored foxes across the landscape because foxes are really cute.

People have learned to feed them.

That, in turn, has allowed foxes to, um, become pretty habituated and learn how to sit for food in a lot of cases.

Um, and so actually, my previous lab mate, Emily Burkholder, also my best friend, um, actually studied the red fox population in Grand Teton and looked at how they used human areas.

But this project specifically includes coyotes and wolves to kind of expand on this idea of trophic interactions from the large predator to the smallest predator to see how they interact on the landscape, how they share space, time, and food.

- some of the stuff you did with bears for your master's?
