CKWRI’s Fidel Hernandez, Ph.D. recently published an article in the Wildlife Society Bulletin titled “The Colors of Quail Science”. It explores the topics of psychology, chaos and dialectical philosophy and ties them back to the science of quail. A truly unique and creative article that will not only engage you, but also likely to make you think about quail research (and many other research topics) in a different light.

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.
