Isotopic niche overlap among foraging marine turtle species in the Gulf of Mexico
Sympatric species may overlap in their use of habitat and dietary resources, which can
increase competition. Comparing the ecological niches and quantifying the degree of niche …

Site specialists, diet generalists? Isotopic variation, site fidelity, and foraging by loggerhead turtles in Shark Bay, Western Australia
Stable isotope data are useful for inferring foraging and niche variation in marine taxa but
can be difficult to interpret, in part because different foraging patterns may result in similar …
