- •
Sr and Pb isotope analysis of tooth enamel from prehistorically introduced agouti and opossum.
- •
Environmental samples provide bioavailable Sr and Pb ratios for the Lesser Antilles.
- •
Agouti and opossum likely established as viable populations on Nevis and Carriacou.
- •
Modern anthropogenic Pb contamination observed in well-preserved tooth enamel.
- •
Results inform paleomobility, invasion biology, and analytic reliability of Pb isotopes for small mammals.
