Hypothesized mechanism for exposure of northern spotted owls to anticoagulant rodenticides (AR) used on marijuana growing operations (MGOs) in northern California. Dusky-footed woodrats are attracted to marijuana plants on MGOs for food and larvicidal nest material (pathway 1). Woodrats are exposed to ARs and return to forested habitat where they are encountered (red X) by northern spotted owls foraging (pathway 2) along forest edge (yellow stippled area)
