Linking breeding and wintering grounds of neotropical migrant songbirds using stable hydrogen isotopic analysis of feathers

KA Hobson, LI Wassenaar - Oecologia, 1996‏ - Springer
Recent studies have shown that stable hydrogen isotope ratios (δD) in the tissues of animals
often correlate with δD of local precipitation. Here we examined the relationship between δD …
