"There's nothing adaptive about AHM!" Why is this viewpoint wrong? "Follow the science!" Why is it not that simple? On this episode, Kayci Messerly and Dr. Mike Brasher go on location at the US Geological Survey Eastern Ecological Science Center to visit with Dr. Mike Runge, quantitative ecologist, to learn about the unparalleled history and legacy of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in making North American waterfowl management the envy of the world. Home to the Bird Banding Lab, Waterfowl Breeding Population Surveys, Harvest Surveys, and Adaptive Harvest Management, the federal scientists who have walked the halls of Patuxent are giants in their field and have answered some of America's most pressing questions in wildlife management. Yet this expertise extends beyond waterfowl and includes pivotal work on the recovery of the endangered whooping crane, lead poisoning, DDT, moist-soil management, and much more. Listen, learn, and appreciate the incredible science of Patuxent.
