Development of Eagle Ford Shale (EFS) oil and gas resources will continue to have considerable impacts on the native habitats of southern Texas. Diverse native plant communities are important habitat for many wildlife species and underlie the predominant land uses of the impacted region aside from oil and gas production. Major issues associated with EFS development are addressed in this management bulletin based on more than a decade of research.

Understanding how animals respond to fear is an important component of successful wildlife management. CKWRI's Dr. Mike Cherry recently co-authored a study that analyzed how to effectively reduce or amplify fear in wild animals by manipulating habitat structure, sensory stimuli, experience (previous exposure to risk) and food safety trade‐offs to achieve management objectives.
At the end of 2020, CKWRI will have completed a four-year study on the use of prescribed fire and cattle grazing to manage the invasive tanglehead grass on a private ranch in South Texas. This research provides reliable information that may be applied by ranchers in the region. Follow link in bio to read full article in the most recent issues of Caesar Kleberg Tracks.
