We developed a new method to estimate the strength of migratory connectivity using stable hydrogen isotopes in feathers! We've updated the MigConnectivity R package to include this exciting new tool.

New Methods in Ecology & Evolution paper out detailing a method for quantifying migratory connectivity. Media coverage:

A cautionary tale: inherent limits of light-level geolocation may lead to over-interpretation. Our response to a previously published study was published in Current Biology. The original study inferred songbirds traveled large distances to avoid tornados. We clearly show those 'movements' fall well within location uncertainty associated with light-level geolocation.
