No escape from microplastics: Contamination of reef manta ray feeding areas in a remote, protected archipelago

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We found microplastic contamination of the upper water column around the Chagos Archipelago, a remote, protected archipelago in the central Indian Ocean. Key aggregation areas for reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) were contaminated, putting them at risk of microplastic ingestion.

Genetic and environmental factors associated with survival of a rare songbird in a fragmented urban landscape

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We conducted individual banding and resighting studies and collected genetic data in populations of coastal Cactus Wrens in Orange and San Diego Counties between 2009 and 2020. We found that survival was much lower for hatch year birds than after hatch year birds and that higher precipitation and heterozygosity had positive effects on survival. Results

Composition and conservation status of rays sold in Baja California Sur, Mexico

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
An analysis of the species composition of ray species sold under a general label in La Paz, Baja California, Sur Mexico. DNA barcode sequencing of the CO1 gene was utilized to assess ray filets, and species identification was compared to IUCN Red List to understand the vulnerability status of ray species being sold.
