Biogeochemical methods using stable isotopes and trace elements have been increasingly
developed and applied to reconstruct modern and ancient breastfeeding and weaning …

ABSTRACT 1 Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has the potential to become a widespread tool in
mammalian ecology, because of its power in resolving the ecological and behavioural …

Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has emerged as a common tool in ecology and has proven
especially useful in the study of animal diet, habitat use, movement, and physiology. SIA has …

Metabolically inert, accretionary structures such as the dentin growth layers in teeth provide
a life history record of individual diet with near-annual resolution. We constructed …

Trophic ecology information about cetaceans is essential to understand their role in
ecosystem dynamics. Stable isotope analysis is a valuable complementary approach to …

Dolphins are among the largest and most diverse predators in marine ecosystems, but our
understanding of their foraging ecology, which is crucial for ecosystem management, is …

To investigate the foraging habitats of delphinids in southeastern Brazil, we analyzed stable
carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes in muscle samples of the following 10 …

Eastern Canada-West Greenland (EC-WG) bowhead whales Balaena mysticetus migrate
seasonally between northwestern Hudson Bay/Foxe Basin and Gulf of Boothia in summer …

Approximately 32 species of marine mammals of the Gulf of California (GC) share habitat
and resources in this ecosystem. Unusually high δ 15 N values at the base of the food web …

We combined stomach content analysis and stable isotopes to investigate long-term
changes in the feeding ecology of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from …
