The research activities of the Department have traditionally centered on population ecology at both the fundamental and applied levels. Species and habitat relationships at the landscape scale and management options which may enhance or conserve biodiversity now complement the traditional emphasis.

The Fish and Wildlife Research Institute's work includes assessment and restoration of ecosystems and studies of freshwater and marine fisheries, aquatic and terrestrial wildlife, imperiled species, and red tides. The institute develops the information science required to analyze and disseminate research products and engages in outreach activities to compliment all programs.

The Institute for Tropical Marine Ecology (ITME) is a not-for-profit organization providing tertiary education and research training in marine biology and environmental studies at its field station in Dominica, Lesser Antilles. ITME further serves a resource center (environmental data, training, consultancies) for Dominica's general public, as well as for national and international organizations. The Institute's year-round field station is an ideal base of operations for visiting researchers and university groups, and unique meeting point in the Eastern Caribbean.

The Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries is one of the principal German centres for research on limnic ecosystems, and unites hydrologists, chemists, microbiologists, fish ecologists and fish biologists. Our research activities are primarily oriented to the analysis of the widespread structures and functions of freshwater ecosystems. Our subsidiary focus is the study of unique regional environments such as the Berlin river-lake system where numerous shallow lakes are interconnected by dominant rivers, and turbulence is a major influence.

Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center at Ichauway. At the Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center, two themes integrate the research, education, and conservation staff and programs. The first is the ecology and management of the longleaf pine ecosystem and the second is aquatic ecology and water resources. Within these broad topics, staff members use basic and applied science to address the real-world information needs of natural resource professionals, landowners, and policy-makers.

The Fort Collins Science Center's world wide web information distribution center. Features include complete descriptions of research programs and project descriptions, access to bibliographies and full-text publications, current news events at the Center, downloadable software and models, and the FORT Research Spotlight - a bi-monthly highlight of recent research projects and their findings.

Information for wildlife managers, scientists, and the public on natural resource issues and biota. The Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center is composed of the Headquarters at Jamestown, North Dakota; Field Stations in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota; on- and off-site Library, Laboratory, Remote Sensing, GIS, Photo and Digital Imaging, Herbarium, and Experimental Pond facilities; and a study area located at Cottonwood Lake in North Dakota.

Learn about what we do to advance wildlife and ecological sciences for the conservation, protection and preservation of our Nation's biological resources. The Patuxent Wildlife Research Center has been a national and international leader in wildlife research since its creation by Congress in 1936 as an integral part of the Patuxent Research Refuge.

The DRFN works collaboratively in all sectors involved in management and use of natural resources, concentrating on the agriculture, energy and water sectors, with government, commercial, non-governmental and community-based organisations. The DRFN empowers decision-makers at all levels through, capacity building, facilitation, knowledge generation and sharing in order to promote sustainable development.

The USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center provides research and technical assistance in support of sound management and conservation of biological systems in the western United States.
