Alvarez, and Steven D. Zaugg DOI: 10.1002/etc.1727 Mast et al. 1 was cited by the review panel for excellence in experimental approach, scientific impact, and public and professional interest in protecting a national resource—Yosemite National Park (California, USA). The park lies upwind of intensive agricultural activity in the San Joaquin Valley (California, USA). Mast et al. 1 report the results of an intensive sampling campaign in Yosemite from 2008 to 2009 that documented the presence of both current-use and legacy pesticides in snow, lichens, zooplankton, passive samplers, and lake sediments from elevations ranging from approximately 1200 m to 3500 m. The study's rigorous quality assurance/quality control methods, provided in detail in the Supplemental Information, led the review panel to cite the study for its excellence in experimental approach. In addition, the authors clearly demonstrate the presence of pesticides that were identified by Sparling and Fellers 2 as having adverse effects in 2 frog species from the Sierras, larval Pacific treefrogs (Pseudacris regilla), and foothill yellow-legged frogs (Rana boylii). Their work contributes substantially to the understanding of spatial and temporal distributions of pesticides in the Sierra Nevada.
