The effects of Glen Canyon Dam operations on early life stages of rainbow trout in the Colorado River [More info]: Complex interactions among hydrologic events initiated by people and the behaviors and characteristics of animal species (both native and introduced) lead to important scientific and management problems.
Understanding the habitat needs of the declining western yellow-billed cuckoo [More info]: This endangered species prefers native trees in large, continuous areas of riparian habitat. Armed with this information, resource managers may identify and preserve areas favorable to this population.
Walrus research at the Alaska Science Center [More info]: Review of current research on stock assessment of the Pacific walrus in the Chukchi and Bering Seas and interactions between walruses and their environment with links to walrus taxonomy, distribution, behavior, and relation to man
Whales and walrus: tillers of the seafloor [More info]: Report on sea floor marks in the Northeast Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea that were identified as pits and furrows caused by whales and walruses in the process of feeding on bottom crustaceans.
White Sturgeon Passage at The Dalles Dam [More info]: Upstream and downstream passage of white sturgeon at dams on the Columbia River.
Wild Sheep and Deer in Hawai'i - A Threat to Fragile Ecosystems [More info]: Shooting them doesn't work, they just breed more. And they trample on the native plants. These animals were brought to the islands during the last 150 years, and we're trying to develop ways of managing their impact on the native life.
Wind energy and wildlife research at the Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center [More info]: How will the increasing use of wind turbines affect populations of wild birds and bats? This shows which birds and bats we study, and the aspects of their ecology that may be affected by wind energy development.
