Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing
nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground …

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 …

Stable isotopes are being increasingly used in wildlife forensics as means of determining
the origin and movement of animals. The heavy isotope content of precipitated water and …

Summary 1 Demographic data from both breeding and non‐breeding periods are needed to
manage populations of migratory birds, many of which are declining in abundance and are …

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

This paper advances an hypothesis that the primary adaptive driver of seasonal migration is
maintenance of site fidelity to familiar breeding locations. We argue that seasonal migration …

Migratory bird needs must be met during four phases of the year: breeding season, fall
migration, wintering, and spring migration; thus, management may be needed during all four …

Stable hydrogen-isotope ratios (δ D) of keratin provide a novel means for tracking
geographical movements of birds and other species. Here we describe a rapid, low cost …

We mapped migration routes of migratory songbirds to the Neotropics by using light-level
geolocators mounted on breeding purple martins (Progne subis) and wood thrushes …

Our understanding of migratory birds' year‐round ecology and evolution remains patchy
despite recent fundamental advances. Periodic reviews focus future research and inform …
