Use of Stable Isotopes to Investigate Keratin Deposition in the Claw Tips of Ducks
Stable isotopes derived from the claws of birds could be used to determine the migratory origins of birds if the time periods represented in excised sections of claws were known. We investigated new keratin growth in the claws of adult female Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) by estimating the equilibra...
