متن کاملUsing stable-hydrogen isotopes to reveal immigration in an Arctic-breeding songbird population
BACKGROUND Knowledge of immigration and emigration rates is crucial for understanding of population dynamics, yet little is known about these vital rates, especially for arctic songbirds. We estimated immigration in an Arctic population of northern wheatears on Baffin Island, Canada, by the use of stable hydrogen isotopes in tail feathers (δ(2)HK). We assumed that δ(2)HK values of juvenile (hat...
متن کاملPSRD: Titanium Isotopes Provide Clues to Lunar Origin
he idea that the Moon formed as the result of the giant impact of a Mars-sized impactor with the still-growing Earth explains two central facts about the Earth-Moon system: its total angular momentum (Earth's spin and the Moon's orbital motion), and the sizes of the metallic cores of the Earth (large) and Moon (tiny). This gives cosmochemists some confidence in the hypothesis, but they would gr...
متن کاملLight Stable Isotopes and the Reconstruction of Prehistoric Diets
Several stable isotope ratios have been measured in human skeletons to determine prehistoric diet. These include the isotopes of nitrogen, sulphur and strontium, which have been used to assess the importance of marine foods in human diets. The systematics of these isotopes in food chains are imperfectly understood, whereas that of carbon is quite well-known. Stable carbon isotope ratios (i.e., ...
متن کاملMigration Routes and Staging Areas of Trans-Saharan Turtle Doves Appraised from Light-Level Geolocators
The identification of migration routes, wintering grounds and stopover sites are crucial issues for the understanding of the Palearctic-African bird migration system as well as for the development of relevant conservation strategies for trans-Saharan migrants. Using miniaturized light-level geolocators we report a comprehensive and detailed year round track of a granivorous trans-Saharan migran...
