Download Using strontium isotope analysis to track age-related animal mobility patterns - Stage 3: Isoscape expansion and improvement

Isotopes can be used to assess an animal’s movement patterns across their lifespan. This research improves our current capability to undergo strontium testing to help inform likely movement patterns and origin of individual wallabies across their lifespan. This is of particular importance in assessing whether new wallaby detections originated from locally breeding populations or not.
