Evaluating Bayesian stable isotope mixing models of wild animal diet and the effects of trophic discrimination factors and informative priors
Ecologists quantify animal diets using direct and indirect methods, including analysis of
faeces, pellets, prey items and gut contents. For stable isotope analyses of diet, Bayesian …

The effects of sex, tissue type, and dietary components on stable isotope discrimination factors (Δ13C and Δ15N) in mammalian omnivores
We tested the effects of sex, tissue, and diet on stable isotope discrimination factors (Δ13C
and Δ15N) for six tissues from rats fed four diets with varied C and N sources, but …
