摘要

Stable hydrogen isotope (deltaD) measurements of bird feathers can reveal approximate North American latitudes where feathers were grown by linking feather 8D values to well-defined geographic patterns in deltaD values in growing-season precipitation.In waterfowl, this approach may require caution because wetlands are potentially "disconnected" from predictable isotopic patterns in precipitation waters. Stable carbon (deltaI3~C), nitrogen (deltaI5~N), and sulphur (delta34~S) isotope values of aviantissues may show geographic structure but can be complicated by land use. We analyzed claws of wintering adult northern pintails (Anas acuta L., 1758) from California and Texas, and feathers and claws of lesser scaup (Aythya affinis (Eyton, 1838)) ducklings from northwestern North America, to determine geographic variation in deltaD, delta3~C, deltaI5~N, and delta34~S values. Wintering pintails from Texas and California were distinguished with claw deltaD and delta15~N values. In scaup, feather deltaD values differed among biomes and were positively associated with latitude; geographic variation in other isotopes was less pronounced. The deltaD values in feathers and claws of individual scaup ducklings were correlated. A positive relationship between scaup feather deltaD values and deltaD values in growing-season precipitation was similar to results reported for songbirds. Thus, deltaD values in waterfowl feathers can provide new knowledge about natal origins and moulting sites.
