Abstract Aim We examined three potential enhancements of the stable isotope technique for elucidating migratory connectivity in birds inhabiting poorly studied areas, illustrated for Eurasian cranes ( Grus grus ) that overwinter in and migrate through Israel. First, we examined the use of oxygen sta...
