An earlier independent California wildlife study found widespread second-generation rodenticide exposure in fishers, providing contextual support for the new owl study's finding that forest-food-web contamination is widespread, while involving a different species and period. DIRECT_TEXT

We found 46 of 58 (79%) fishers exposed to an AR with 96% of those individuals having been exposed to one or more second-generation AR compounds. No spatial clustering of AR exposure was detected and the spatial distribution of exposure suggests that AR contamination is widespread within the fisher’s range in California.
