Using sulfur stable isotope ratios ( δ < sup > 34 < /sup > S) for animal geolocation: Estimating the delay mechanisms between diet ingestion and isotope incorporation in tail hair

CONCLUSION: Our findings help to unravel the underlying complexities associated with sulfur metabolism and are broadly consistent with results from other species. These findings will help to inform research aiming to apply the variation of δ34 S in inert biological material for geolocation or understanding dietary changes, especially for fast moving migratory ungulates such as wildebeest.PMID:38124168 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9674
