Hunters often use lead ammunition to harvest deer in New York, and scavengers exposed to bullet fragments can potentially develop toxicosis. One team of researchers wanted to determine which species were the best biondicators of lead in the environment. In the featured article of the November issue of The Journal of Wildlife Management, researchers determined bald eagles to be best-suited as bioindicators of bullet-derived lead, followed by American goshawks. red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) and great horned owls (Bubo virginianus).

Other articles look at anthropogenic causes of mortality in Bonelli’s eagles (Aquila fasciata) in eastern Spain, the influence of fence design on eastern long-neck turtle (Chelodina longicollis) movement, horn size in pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) and much more!
