Establishing patterns of movement of wild animals is crucial for our understanding of their
ecology, life history and behavior, and is a prerequisite for their effective conservation …

This review article discusses recent analytical developments with respect to the
determination of the geographic origin of raw meat. The main emphasis is laid on lamb, beef …

Tracking Animal Migration with Stable Isotopes, Second Edition, provides a complete
introduction to new and powerful isotopic tools and applications that track animal migration …

We report isotopic data (δ2H, δ18O n= 196; δ13C, δ15N n= 142; δ34S n= 85) from human
hair and drinking water (δ2H, δ18O n= 67) collected across China, India, Mongolia, and …

Determining the degree of connectivity between breeding and wintering populations is
critical for understanding the ecology and evolution of migratory systems. We analyzed …

Stable isotopes in metabolically inert tissues of migratory animals can be used to infer
migratory and dispersal histories. The general approach for estimating geographic origins of …

Birds are some of the most diverse organisms on Earth, with species inhabiting a wide
variety of niches across every major biome. As such, birds are vital to our understanding of …

For long‐distance migrants, such as many of the shorebirds, understanding the
demographic implications of behavioural strategies adopted by individuals is key to …

The use of stable‐hydrogen isotopes (δD) has become a common tool for estimating
geographic patterns of movement in migratory animals. This method relies on broad and …

Abstract Analysis of stable hydrogen isotope ratios in feathers (δDf) is a promising method
for investigating population connectivity in migratory birds. Stable hydrogen isotope ratios in …
