Researchers Conduct Wildlife Tracking in Quebec Wilderness

Université Laval ecologist David Bolduc led a unique experiment in a Quebec forest where participants played a predator-prey game to explore survival strategies in nature. The findings, published in *Methods in Ecology and Evolution*, showed that humans mimic animal behaviors, such as predators using paths to hunt and prey utilizing cover. While the game offers insights into ecological interactions, researchers caution against overgeneralizing results to wildlife due to human variances. The innovative approach has garnered attention from scientists who commend its fun and engaging methodology.
