Stable isotope analysis provides new information on winter habitat use of declining avian migrants that is relevant to their conservation.

Winter habitat use and the magnitude of migratory connectivity are important parameters when assessing drivers of the marked declines in avian migrants. Such information is unavailable for most species. We use a stable isotope approach to assess these factors for three declining African-Eurasian mig...
