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 …

Spatial, seasonal and individual variation in the diet of White‐tailed Eagles Haliaeetus albicilla assessed using stable isotope ratios
Many raptor species are considered to be generalists, taking a range of prey species.
However, longitudinal dietary records are often scarce, although necessary for …
