   abstract: Dr. Ausband received his Msc and PhD from the University of Montana
     and was a Senior Wildlife Research Biologist for the Idaho Department of Fish
     and Game before joining the Idaho Unit in 2018. He began his research career
     studying snowshoe hares and carnivore reintroductions such as those for swift
     foxes and gray wolves in the western U.S. Currently, his research program focuses
     largely on carnivore ecology, management, and conservation. Additionally, when
     sought out by collaborators, he conducts research on various topics of pressing
     management needs. He collaborates widely with state, federal, and tribal wildlife
     agencies on research that provides both applied and basic inferences. Additionally,
     he provides research leadership by maintaining a long-term research program
     on gray wolves whose questions encompass the behavioral ecology of cooperative
     breeders, harvest management, population monitoring, and population ecology.
     Dr. Ausband teaches graduate courses in Advanced Fish and Wildlife Management
     and Science Communication.
