Metals at mine sites can be a risk for migratory birds, but it’s hard to assess how much of a risk it is without understanding what “normal” metal levels are in the birds.

Other articles look at attitudes toward wild pigs, Indigenous knowledge and wildlife management, predicting Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) size using scat, and more.
