DESCRIPTION:Gatty Lecture Series\n\nJoin us for a talk by Karann Putrevu\, 
 Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow in the Departmentof Molecular Biology and Gene
 tics at Cornell University.\n\nThis Gatty Lecture will take place at the K
 ahin Center\, 640 Stewart Ave. Lunch will be served. For questions\, conta
 ct seap@cornell.edu.\n\nAbstract\n\nThe spread of African Swine Fever (ASF
 ) across Asia presents an urgent conservation problem for endemic wild pig
  species\, as well as the predators that prey on them. ASF has proven to b
 e extremely lethal in Asia\, with wild boar mortality rates approaching 10
 0%. Of particular concern among the apex predator suite in Asia are tigers
  (Panthera tigris)\, who hunt wild boar more preferentially than sympatric
  predators\, and who already face severe baseline threats to their persist
 ence from poaching and habitat loss. This energetic pressure on tigers can
  have further propagating consequences\, as hungry tigers may be driven in
 to conflict situations with local communities. Karann will present his ong
 oing work to (1) highlight tiger populations most at risk for ASF-related 
 declines\, (2) apply analytical approaches to diagnose declines that may h
 ave already occurred\, (3) conduct fieldwork to address critical data gaps
  in tiger and pig ecology\, and (4) work with local stakeholders and NGOs 
 on potential interventions.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nKarann Putrevu receive
 d his Ph.D. in Environment & Resources from the University of Wisconsin\, 
 Madison where he studied Amur tigers in Russia. As a Klarman Postdoctoral 
 Fellow at Cornell\, he is studying the ongoing prey depletion pressure fac
 ing tigers due to African Swine Fever (ASF). His geographic focus is on re
 gions where wild pig species constitute a critical portion of available ti
 ger prey\, which includes the Russian Far East\, peninsular Malaysia\, and
  Sumatra.
