USGS researchers and collaborators are currently studying the grazing behavior of bison in Theodore Roosevelt National Park to determine the effects of ungulates on vegetation in the park. These studies will support park managers in maintaining healthy bison herds, conserving critical habitat, and sustaining outdoor recreation.

The USGS Ecosystems Mission Area brings you Outstanding in the Field, a series of stories about our science, our adventures, and our efforts to better understand our fish and wildlife and the ecosystems that support them. In this episode we describe some of the one-of-a-kind native fish species that call the Grand Canyon segment of the Colorado River home.
