Postulating a new techniquefeather mineral pattern analysisfor determining the geographic origins and distributions of wild goose populations, this book makes a unique contribution to wildlife research and management. ""Of special interest are the authors efforts to relate feather mineral concentrations to the physical and chemical translocations of mineral elements from the rock substrates of the various breeding grounds of wild geese, to the soils and the parts of the ecosystems in which they live, to their final deposition in feather keratin."
