Early Life Stage (ELS) tests are used as an alternative to traditional whole-animal testing methods for evaluating toxicity of chemicals. ELS for birds involve injection into the air cell of fertile eggs early in development and artificial incubation for several days at which point tissues are sampled for analysis.

The light-footed Ridgway’s rail, a handsome but secretive waterbird that lives on tidal marshland fragments in southern California from Santa Barbara County south to Baja California, Mexico.
USGS is gathering and analyzing DNA from blood samples throughout the subspecies’ range to document the light-footed Ridgway’s rail’s genetic health.
