Chemical analysis of calcified structures continues to flourish, as analytical and
technological advances enable researchers to tap into trace elements and isotopes taken up …

Stable isotope analysis (SIA) is widely used to assess animal diet and movements, requiring
accurate estimates of trophic discrimination factors (TDFs). Since TDFs are only available for …

The nitrogen isotopes (δ 15 N) in the organic fraction of accretionary hard part structures,
such as fish otoliths, may provide life histories of dietary change. We performed controlled …

Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) is an important trophic link within Arctic marine food webs and
is likely to experience diet shifts in response to climate change. One important tool for …

Context Although stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes are widely used to
study feeding ecology, the use of these isotopes in otolith organic matter to assess the diet of …

Stable isotope analysis is a powerful tool for dietary modeling and trophic ecology research.
A crucial piece of information for isotopic dietary modeling is the accurate estimation of …

The combined use of otolith chemistry and tissue isotopes has the potential to reveal
movements, habitat associations and food web interactions at a variety of spatial and …

Diet studies are essential to understand predator-prey dynamics within a marine ecosystem
and how diet changes with growth and habitat. Although a large number of diet estimation …

Fish otoliths have been used as natural recorders of age and growth information in fishes for
over a century after the identification of otolith age increments (Reibisch 1899). In addition to …
