Use of stable isotopes (δ 2 H, δ 13 C and δ 15 N) to infer the migratory connectivity of Terek Sandpipers ( Xenus cinereus) at stopover sites in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway
Stable isotopes are well documented as effective intrinsic markers to infer migratory connectivity which provides key information for establishing an effective conservation strategy in migratory birds. However, there are few studies using stable isotopes that have been applied to long-distance migra...
