🐍 Don't let this eel research slip past you! A decade after 4 million young eels were released into Lake Ontario, a new paper in our journal finds they're still surviving and growing, and locks are helping them bypass "impassable" dams.

Our research reveals a major challenge in aquatic mammal conservation: a biased lack of evidence. Studies are focused on too few regions and species, leaving many threatened animals un-researched. We need to fill these gaps to make conservation effective. dx.doi.org/10.1111/acv.13003
