Advances in linking wintering migrant birds to their breeding-ground origins using combined analyses of genetic and stable isotope markers.
An enduring problem in avian ecology and conservation is linking breeding and wintering grounds of migratory species. As migratory species and populations vary in the degree to which individuals from distinct breeding locales mix on stop-over sites and wintering grounds, establishing migratory conne...
