Megan Perra

Megan is a Ph.D. Candidate researching how biological cues like soundscapes and interspecific vocalizations influence movement decision making in caribou. She studied caribou auditory physiology and the soundscapes of the Arctic Coastal Plain for her M.S. from University of Alaska Fairbanks. As part of their current work, Megan and her team have performed fine tuning on the audiologgers used to gather environmental data on caribou out in the wild, with the goal to learn more about the environment impacting the caribou and their behavior in a less invasive way. She is co-advised with Elie Gurarie at SUNY-ESF.
