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 …

In the past 20 years the use of stable isotope analysis has become increasingly common in
ecological studies. In fact, in some instances these techniques have yielded remarkable …

The use of stable isotope ratio analysis in archaeology has exploded over the past few
decades to the point where it is now an established tool that is routinely used to investigate …

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

Naturally occurring variations in the stable isotope composition of fossil vertebrates have
been studied since the late 1970s. Isotopic data from vertebrate fossils are sometimes used …

Long‐distance dispersal (LDD) includes events in which propagules arrive, but do not
necessarily establish, at a site far removed from their origin. Although important in a variety …

Our purpose is to provide researchers, consultants, decision‐makers, and other
stakeholders with guidance to methods and metrics for investigating nocturnally active birds …

ABSTRACT 1 Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has the potential to become a widespread tool in
mammalian ecology, because of its power in resolving the ecological and behavioural …
