The unprecedented rate of urbanization over the past several decades is a major concern
for conservation globally and has given rise to the multidisciplinary field of urban ecology …

Knowing the trophic ecology of the species that occur in a given location is crucial for
understanding the factors that allow their co-existence. Using stable isotope ratios (δ13C …

The subsistence strategies employed by the ancient peoples of the Amazon have been a
fundamental and extensively debated topic since the inception of archaeological research in …

We tested the reliability of herbivore faecal δ 13 C and δ 15 N values for reconstructing diet
through review of an extensive database derived from a 3-year study of ungulates in South …

Background Understanding dietary trends for endangered species may be essential to
assessing the effects of ecological disturbances such as habitat modification, species …

In the Western Cape three species of mole-rat occur in sympatry, however, little is known
about differences in their dietary preferences. Dietary composition of the three species; the …

On a global scale, urban development is the fastest growing form of land use, and over 50%
of the world's human population lives in urban areas (Savard et al., 2000; UN, 2008). As …

Identifying the mechanisms of ecological change is challenging in the absence of long-term
data, but stable isotope ratios of museum specimen tissues may provide a record of diet and …

Understanding of resource requirements of vulnerable species is key for conservation
planning. Here, we used stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen isotopes (δ15N) of hair from …

Large mammal ecosystems have relatively simple food webs, usually comprising three—
and sometimes only two—trophic links. Since many syntopic species from the same trophic …
