In the featured article for this issue, researchers looked at mercury concentrations in dragonfly larvae in 30 National Wildlife Refuges in the U.S. Because dragonflies are a sentinel species, their findings show which waterbodies have high mercury levels that can pose risks to humans and wildlife.

Other articles in this issue address spatial structure in walrus populations, predicting woodpecker damage to utility infrastructure, population dynamics, survival and movement of Texas tortoises in a national park and more.
