Synopsis

Tracking Animal Migration with Stable Isotopes provides a consolidated overview of the current knowledge of stable isotopes in terrestrial migration research questions. It offers ecologists and conservation biologists provide a practical handbook for those considering using stable isotopes in their migration research.

  • Presents information for readers to understand how to apply isotopic methods for tracking
  • Critical information on areas for future research
  • Practical guidelines and discussions of sample collection, sample preparation, and data analysis
  • Enhanced understanding of data and statistical analysis in isotope-based studies of migratory animals

About the Authors

Dr. Keith Hobson is Full Professor of Biology at the University of Western Ontario. He obtained his MSc in Zoology at the University of Manitoba and his PhD in Biology at the University of Saskatchewan. He has published widely in the realm of avian ecology and migration studies, focusing on the intricacies of avian migratory patterns, stable isotopes in ecology, and the effects of environmental changes on bird populations. Dr. Hobson specializes in using stable isotope approaches with an emphasis on migratory connectivity birds. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and serves as editor of Avian Conservation and Ecology.

Dr. Len Wassenaar was a senior Research Scientist with Environment Canada for 23 years, specializing isotope analytical measurements and applications in hydrology and ecology. He and Dr. Hobson worked closely together to develop many of the foundational analytical tools to assign animals to origins using isotope approaches. Currently, Dr. Wassenaar serves as a Team Leader in Nuclear Applications Division of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria.
