Use of amino acid isotope analysis to investigate capital versus income breeding strategies in migratory avian species

Abstract Income and capital breeding represent opposing ends of a continuum of reproductive strategies. Quantifying nutrient allocation to reproduction is challenging, but recent advances in compound‐specific stable isotope analysis hold promise for tracing the source of individual compounds allocat...
