SIDER: an R package for predicting trophic discrimination factors of consumers based on their ecology and phylogenetic relatedness
Stable isotope mixing models (SIMMs) are an important tool used to study species' trophic
ecology. These models are dependent on, and sensitive to, the choice of trophic …

[HTML][HTML] Exploring the isotopic niche: Isotopic variance, physiological incorporation, and the temporal dynamics of foraging
Consumer foraging behaviors are dynamic, changing in response to prey availability,

Does lipid-correction introduce biases into isotopic mixing models? Implications for diet reconstruction studies
Carbon isotopes are commonly used in trophic ecology to estimate consumer diet
composition. This estimation is complicated by the fact that lipids exhibit a more depleted …

Size, sex and individual‐level behaviour drive intrapopulation variation in cross‐ecosystem foraging of a top‐predator
Large‐bodied, top‐predators are often highly mobile, with the potential to provide important
linkages between spatially distinct food webs. What biological factors contribute to variation …
