    <p>The bat with the δD<sub>furactual-predict</sub> value suggesting that it had migrated the farthest from its latitude of fur growth also had a δD<sub>fur</sub> value indicating that it was from the most northern location (collection site indicated by black circle). It likely originated at a location where the mean growing season δD<sub>precip</sub> composition was between −63 and −74‰ (the area shaded in grey). The lettered points indicate the existing most northern records of <i>Perimyotis subflavus</i> (A = <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031419#pone.0031419-Knowles1" target="_blank">[60]</a>; B = <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031419#pone.0031419-Fenton1" target="_blank">[2]</a>; C = <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031419#pone.0031419-Broders1" target="_blank">[65]</a>). Predicted growing season δD<sub>precip</sub> values were obtained from waterisotopes.org <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031419#pone.0031419-Bowen1" target="_blank">[40]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031419#pone.0031419-Bowen3" target="_blank">[44]</a>.</p
