Stable isotopes have proven to be a useful tool for deciphering food webs, examining
migration patterns and determining nutrient resource allocation. In order to increase the …

Stable isotope analysis has become an increasingly valuable tool in investigating animal
ecology. Here we document the turnover rates for carbon in the liver, muscle, and whole …

Summary 1 The use of stable carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) isotopes (δ15N and δ13C,
respectively) to delineate trophic patterns in wild animals is common in ecology. Their utility …

Stable isotopes are increasingly being used to examine ecological and physiological
questions, such as dietary choices, migration routes and timing, and physiological condition …

Stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur are used as ecological tracers for a variety of
applications, such as studies of animal migrations, energy sources, and food web pathways …

Stable isotope analysis has become an important tool in studies of trophic food webs and
animal feeding patterns. When animals undergo rapid dietary shifts due to migration …

The use of stable carbon isotopes as a means of studying energy flow is increasing in
ecology and paleoecology. However, secondary fractionation and turnover of stable …

The stable isotopes of carbon (12C, 13C) and nitrogen (14N, 15N) represent powerful tools
in food web ecology, providing a wide range of dietary information in animal consumers …

Stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur in organisms can trace nutrient sources and
determine trophic interactions. However, time is required for an organism to reflect the …

The dietary habits of most small mammals are not well documented, and stable isotope
measurements can provide information on when and how diets change. Here we document …
