9780809307517: The Biogeochemistry of Blue Snow and Ross' Geese

Synopsis

Postulating a new technique?feather mineral pattern analysis?for determin­ing the geographic origins and distribu­tions of wild goose populations, this book makes a unique contribution to wildlife research and management.

 

Of special interest are the authors’ efforts to relate feather mineral concen­trations to the physical and chemical translocations of mineral elements from the rock substrates of the various breed­ing grounds of wild geese, to the soils and the parts of the ecosystems in which they live, to their final deposition in feather keratin.
