Noa received her PhD from UC Davis for her work on the behavior of translocated African elephants and is currently studying the behavior of harvester ants. Her presentation will focus on the behavioral and physiological response of African elephants to translocation and she will discuss the use of behavioral data to inform wildlife management actions.
