The MacArthur Agro-ecology Research Center at Buck Island Ranch is dedicated to a mission of long-term research, education and outreach related to the ecological and social value of subtropical grazing lands.  The Center is at a 10,300-acre cattle ranch on a long-term lease to Archbold Biological Station from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.  The ranch is operated at full commercial scale allowing researchers to investigate ecological interactions under the economic realities of a working agricultural landscape.  It also provides researchers the opportunity to evaluate the relationship between economic and ecological factors and how these change over time.
