Non-native rats are endangering the seabirds that nest on Anacapa Island, including the rare Xantus' Murrelet. Faced with evidence of widespread predation on seabird eggs and chicks, land managers and scientists must decide how to balance the needs of endemic species in their efforts to remove rats and restore balance to an important island ecosystem.
