Contributions of stable-isotope data to elucidating food webs of Mediterranean rocky littoral fishes
JK Pinnegar, NVC Polunin - Oecologia, 2000 - Springer
The food webs of rocky infra-littoral ecosystems in the Mediterranean have been little
studied. In this investigation stable isotopes and dietary data were compared in an attempt to …

Trophic niche overlap of sprat and commercial small pelagic teleosts in the Gulf of Lions (NW Mediterranean Sea)
Increasing abundance of non-commercial sprats and decreasing biomass and landings of
commercial anchovies and sardines justify the need to study the feeding ecology and trophic …

Diet of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Gulf of Cadiz: Insights from stomach content and stable isotope analyses
The ecological role of species can vary among populations depending on local and regional
differences in diet. This is particularly true for top predators such as the bottlenose dolphin …
