Faculty in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife are currently conducting research on a diverse array of topics in North America as well as internationally.
Ongoing wildlife research includes studies on the interaction between wildlife and land uses, migratory bird ecology, forestry-wildlife relationships, endangered species management, ecology of waterfowl, community ecology, wetland management, reproductive ecology, nutrition and foraging ecology, predator-prey interactions, and population dynamics.
Fisheries researchers are focusing on quantitative analyses of marine and freshwater fish populations, water quality, fish and invertebrate physiology, stream ecology, modeling of aquatic ecosystems, land use interactions, ecology of marine and freshwater fishes, endangered species, aquaculture, fish genetics, limnology, parasites and diseases, toxicology, and population dynamics.
