Kansas Research Activities
Most research investigations at the Kansas Cooperative Fish and WIldlife Research Unit are at the landscape scale, concentrationing on the inter-relationships among ecosystems. Many of the investigations are related to agricutural and energy production. It is a diverse research agenda including projects related to migratory birds and wetlands of the Great Plains and Gulf Coast; black-tailed prairie dog colonies of the western Great Plains; aquatic systems throughout Kansas, Great Plains, and northeastern United States; lesser prairie-chickens of the Southern Great Plains; and aquatic systems of the Great Plains.
