Thoroughly enjoyed talking to the students and staff at the Museu de Zoologia at the University of Sao Paulo, about our @isotopesuk.bsky.social Stable Isotope Ecology Lab at @suerc.bsky.social , but also the many ways in which stable isotopes can be used in ecological applications.

In her new paper, Ana Navarro shows how the birds of Brazil's Atlantic Forest have changed their diet and habitat use over time, using the stable isotope analysis of museum feathers. doi.org/10.1002/oik....
