Over the last decade, the study of shark biology has benefited from the development,
refinement, and rapid expansion of novel techniques and advances in technology. These …

Compound‐specific isotope analysis of amino acids (CSIA‐AA) is a promising nascent
technique that alleviates many shortcomings of conventional bulk‐tissue stable isotope …

Stable isotope analysis has become one of the most widely used techniques in ecological
studies. However, there are still uncertainties about the effects of sample preservation and …

Background This study aimed to assess whether ecological inferences from isotopic
functional indices (IFIs) are impacted by changes in isotopic baselines in aquatic food webs …

Interpretation of stable isotope data needs to take into account known, but often variable and
inconsistent, influences of preservatives and lipids on carbon and nitrogen isotopic values …

Dead animals may be an important or the only source of tissues to analyze for stable
isotopes, with the goal of making inferences about an animal's past ecological history …

This dissertation explores freshwater lake ecosystems, especially their productivity,
vulnerability, and food web architecture, through the lenses of landscape limnology and …

The stable isotope (SI) approach is widely used in ecological research to tackle problems
such as delineating food web structure or tracing the migratory origins of various organisms …

Knowledge of the trophic and spatial ecology of elasmobranchs is widely recognized as a
critical component of successful management and conservation programs (Mourier et al …

Identification of the resources an animal is selecting allows us to understand how animals
use what is available to meet their requirements for survival, growth, and reproduction …
