Using GPS tracking and stable multi-isotopes for estimating habitat use and winter range in Palearctic ospreys
Abstract We used both satellite tracking and carbon, nitrogen and sulphur stable isotopic analysis (SIA) to infer wintering ecology and habitat use of the Corsican osprey Pandion haliaetus population. A control sample of feathers from 75 individuals was collected within the osprey’s northern hemisph...
