The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

Coral reef ecosystems are exceptionally complex with a myriad of trophic pathways and
consumer relationships. The application of stable isotopes (SIs) offers numerous …

Understanding the factors shaping patterns of ecological resilience is critical for mitigating
the loss of global biodiversity. Throughout aquatic environments, highly mobile predators …

Abstract Theory suggests that overcrowding and increased competition in urban
environments might be detrimental to individual condition in avian populations …

Hypomelanosis refers to a suite of skin pigment abnormalities, including albinism, leucism
and piebaldism. While documented across many vertebrate species, examples of …

Stable isotope analyses provide the means to examine the trophic role of animals in
complex food webs. Here, we used stable isotope analyses to characterize the feeding …

Observations of resource-use dynamics are sparse for higher trophic level species in marine
systems, but important given their role in driving the distribution and functional roles of …

Elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates and rays) are some of the most morphologically and
behaviourally diverse vertebrates on the planet, demonstrating a wide range of feeding …

Human activities have led to the loss of critical habitats for aquatic species at such an
accelerated rate that habitat modification is considered a leading threat to biodiversity …

Sharks are top predators and play an important role in the regulation of marine ecosystems
at lower trophic position. Mustelus californicus, Sphyrna zygaena, and Isurus oxyrinchus …
