Episode 30: Wildlife Research Station - Some Cool Research Projects

Episode 30: The Wildlife Research Station

In this episode I’m going to focus on a number of really interesting research projects that have been going on – some for many, many decades and along with more stories of the researchers and their experiences.

A Big shout-out to Patrick Moldowan, the Station's Communications Director who has been an incredible partner. Not only did he make sure that I was getting all of my explanations right or at least mostly right, but he also was incredibly patient with my at times really dumb questions and scientific term translation requests.  The Algonquin WRS website is www.algonquinwrs.ca to join their Patreon Program or just take a look at the research abstracts.  

Other key contributors include:

• Rory MacKay’s 2018 Algonquin Park A Place Like No Other
• Norm Quinn’s 2002 Algonquin Wildlife Lessons in Survival
• George Warecki’s recent books on both J. R. Dymond (2019) & Douglas Pimlott (2021)
• George Garland’s 1989 Glimpses of Algonquin
• Robert Bateman’s 2015 autobiography Life Sketches
• Various articles in The Best of the Raven newsletters Volumes 1 to 3 as well as those from 2010-2021 that are available on-line
• And of course the Wildlife Research Station official web site and selected published research papers and abstracts.
