Identifying migratory pathways of Nathusius' pipistrelles ( <i>Pipistrellus nathusii</i> ) using stable hydrogen and strontium isotopes

Abstract

Our findings demonstrate the benefit of using complementary isotopic tracers for analysing the migratory pathways of bats and also potentially other terrestrial vertebrate species. Furthermore, data from our study suggest an offset of fur strontium isotope ratios in relation to local bedrock.
