Speaker: Debra Shier,
Ph.D., San Diego Zoo
Institute for
Conservation Research Brown Endowed Scientist
Dr. Debra Shier runs a
growing local field program on threatened and endangered small mammals for the
San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research. For the past 15 years she
has been studying the ways in which an understanding of animal behavior and
behavioral ecology can be applied to conservation strategies such as
reintroductions and translocations. Dr. Shier’s research has focused on using
basic theory to create effective and efficient relocation methods by
encouraging settlement, dampening stress, and increasing post-release survival
and reproductive success. San Onofre State Park is home to one of the three
remaining populations of the critically endangered Pacific Pocket Mouse.
