Big thanks to @scrappynaturalist.bsky.social @masonfidino.bsky.social @sbmagle.bsky.social @urbanzoochory.bsky.social @drjuliekyoung.bsky.social Kelli Larson, Anita Morzillo, Anne Short Gianotti, Chris Schell, Seth Riley, and Jeff Sikich. What a dream team!

We also showcase mountain lion P22 as an example of coexistence, except for two periods when he was in poor health and came into conflict with people. This is a great example why wildlife health should be centered in conflict prevention strategies.

We use bird feeding as a case study to show how human-wildlife interactions can create health tradeoffs for both wildlife and people, scaling up from individuals to communities

I've been thinking about these relationships for a long time - coyotes with mange being more likely to use human resources (www.researchgate.net/publication/...), and rat poison potentially affecting rat infection dynamics (www.researchgate.net/publication/...)

Our framework posits that human-wildlife interactions affect human health, and these health risks and benefits inform how humans respond and manage wildlife. These actions can affect wildlife health, affecting future rates of HWI. All in the context of environmental health and resource availability

It's a space full of optimism - that people want to learn new things, meet people, and share ideas. It's also one of the few places you can go without buying something. The library is one of my son's favorite places and I'm grateful for mine
