Determination of the isotopic turnover rate in the various tissues of an organism is one of the
essential prerequisites for tracing the food sources of consumers and for elucidating trophic …

Carbon stable isotope signatures can effectively trace food sources, elucidate trophic
interactions, and presumably reflect food web structure. The present study conducted a diet …

Stable isotope analysis is increasingly being used to determine the trophic relationships of
aquatic ecosystems. Most ecological and biological conclusions from isotope analysis are …

Although stable isotope analysis is a powerful tool for determining animal diets, migration
patterns, and the structure of food webs in aquatic systems, the slow response of isotopic …

Stable isotope analysis (SIA) is a powerful tool for assessing food webs and diet. However,
the underlying assumptions that stable isotope ratios in an organism's tissues reflect that of …

Stable isotope analysis has provided insights into the trophic ecology of a wide diversity of
animals. Knowledge about isotopic incorporation rates and isotopic discrimination between …

Although stable isotope analysis is a powerful tool for determining diet, migration patterns
and the structure of food webs in aquatic systems, the slow response of isotopic ratios in the …

Rationale In trophic ecology, the use of stable isotope data relies on the general
understanding of isotope turnover rates and diet‐to‐tissue discrimination factors (DTDFs) …

Stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) are widely used in food-web
studies to determine trophic positioning and diet sources. However in order to accurately …

For many applications and ecological studies in which wild individuals are brought to
laboratory it would be essential to know accurately how fast novel diet is reflected in …
