The book was inadvertently published with materials that were reproduced or modified without permission, attribution, or citation by using original scientific materials taken from the textbook “Tracking animal migration with stable isotopes (Vol. 1): Hobson, K. A., & Wassenaar, L. I., (2008) by Academic Press, in chapters 2 and 3.

The book has now been updated by including an Acknowledgement and Correction to the specific contributions of the chapter authors in the original 2008 book edited by K. A. Hobson & L. I. Wassenaar.

Following are the specific instances of materials that were reproduced without permission and hereby are listed with the correct attribution:

Acknowledgements:

This guide was developed with a substantial support of the team involved in the development and implementation of the IAEA CRP: “Use of Stable Isotopes to Trace Bird Migrations and Molecular Nuclear Techniques to Investigate the Epidemiology and Ecology of the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza” (Code: D32030).

A second edition of Stable Isotopes to Trace Migratory Birds and to Identify Harmful Diseases – An Introductory Guide is in preparation and will supersede the original published in 2016.
