| The bipartisan Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (H.R.3742) was included as an amendment to the Moving Forward Act,a transportation and infrastructure package that passed on the House floor last week. As an important part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and corresponding economic crisis, this recovery plan will put people back to work quickly and protect our valuable natural resource infrastructure. The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act promises to benefit the nation’s economy by creating as many as 33,500 new jobs annually, supporting future economic growth in the outdoor recreation sector through infrastructure improvements, while increasing resiliency and recovery of imperiled species and their habitats. Stay tuned for how you can help move this forward in the Senate. |

| To determine how steelheadOncorhynchus mykissrespond to major shifts in temperature, the authors of this paper compared diet composition, stomach fullness, size, and body condition of juvenile steelhead collected in 2015 and 2016 to those of a subset of steelhead collected in previous surveys (2001, 2002, 2004, and 2006–2011) that included warm, cool, and neutral ocean years. |

Growing appreciation of biodiversity and the role of apex predators, along with the increasing popularity of multispecies and trophy‐oriented angling, has elevated the status of gars—in particular, the Alligator GarAtractosteus spatula—among anglers and biologists alike. A new special section in theNorth American Journal of Fisheries Managementbrings together current knowledge on Alligator Gar conservation and management.
