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 management of intermittent streams. This project will use sensors to track the presence and absence of water in streams across Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and New Mexico. This will allow for an estimate of different drying patterns, and what (for example, stream size, land use, rainfall, or soil type) influences each pattern....

Pilot Aquatic Grassland Prioritization Tool Focused on Topeka Shiner and Cogeners. Objectives: 1) Identify data sets and develop methodology building on existing analyses of priority watersheds and fish habitat selection criteria across grassland ecosystem 2) Assess need and feasibility to develop decision tool for strategically addressing measureable, cross-programmatic conservation aquatic grassland benefits. Programs (Fish Habitat, Fish Passage, Partners and FAC, ES and NWR) and partners (Midwest Landscape Initiative and Great Plains FHP) can use this tool to support decisions for committing resources within and across grassland ecosystems to priority areas with multi-species benefits (initial focus on Topeka...
