Challenge
Can citizen-science sightings plus stable isotopes reconstruct where a rail species spends winter vs. summer? Trace the migratory signal for one of the three species.
- Where to start
- Unzip only the tables you need. Look at the isotope values alongside the location/season fields; group by breeding vs. non-breeding.
- What to share
- A plot linking isotope signature to latitude/season and a short interpretation of the migratory connectivity.
