Dave Haukos, PhD
Unit Leader - Kansas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
Research Interests
Dave's primary research is on wetlands, grasslands, and migratory birds of the Great Plains and Gulf Coast. He is most interested in the effects of changes in landuse on ecosystems at the landscape scale.
Teaching Interests
Dave's teaching interests relate to linking ecological theory, applied conservation stratigies, and approaches for successful application of research results in a comprehensive treatment of current issues. He has taught a variety of courses including Natural Resource Policy, BioPolitics, Wetland Ecology, Waterfowl Ecology, among others.

Intermittent Stream Risk Assessment: Mapping Patterns of Stream Drying and Identifying Vulnerabilities of Stream Fish and Crayfish Communities to Drying
Small creeks and streams often dry out during the summer but still support many insects, fish, crayfish, and plants. Though intermittent streams are the most common type of flowing water across the globe, not much is known about which, how, why, or when streams dry or about how patterns of drying affect species in these habitats. More information about patterns of stream drying can help inform the
The Impact of Future Climate Variability on Shorebirds and Their Wetland Habitats in the South Central U.S.
Healthy wetlands provide buffers against drought, flooding, pollution, and other threats to humans and nature. Climate change imperils wetland health, including impacting the connections among wetlands that facilitate movements and prevent extinctions of wetland-dependent wildlife. One wildlife group of considerable conservation concern and vulnerability to climate induced wetland changes is migra
