Dr. Reidinger has had long-term teaching, research, administrative, and practical engagement with managing human wildlife conflicts. He taught wildlife damage management and related courses at undergraduate and graduate levels at Colorado State (CSU), University of Pennsylvania (UP), Lincoln (Missouri), University of Missouri, and other universities. He studied damage problems in agriculture in the Philippines, helped establish a vertebrate pest component and integrated pest management program in Bangladesh, and studied flavor aversion learning as it related to bait shyness and repellency at the Monell Center at the UP. He has served as a staff specialist in human wildlife conflicts in Washington, D. C., and as an Acting Director of the National Technical Support Staff for Wildlife Services, the only federal program devoted exclusively to managing human wildlife conflicts. He was Director of the National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC), the research arm of the Wildlife Services program. His textbook, written with Jim Miller, is used in the course. He presently has an appointment at CSU, and as his schedule allows, also manages deer, coyote, bird and other wildlife damage on his small fruit farm in Missouri.
