The carbon-isotope composition of hair and feces offers a glimpse into the diets of
mammalian herbivores. It is particularly useful for determining the relative consumption of …

The use of stable carbon isotopes as a means of studying energy flow is increasing in
ecology and paleoecology. However, secondary fractionation and turnover of stable …

Summary 1 We demonstrate the potential of extracting high‐resolution dietary information
from stable carbon isotopes (δ13C) in horse tail‐hair, in response to short‐term changes in …

The stable isotope composition of carbon and nitrogen in feces can be a useful tool for
reconstructing diet. To examine whether the isotopic composition of feces reflect those of …

Stable carbon isotope analysis of animal liver and muscle has become a widespread tool for
investigating dietary ecology. Nonetheless, stable carbon isotope turnover of these tissues …

Omnivorous animals feed on several food items that often differ in macronutrient and
isotopic composition. Macronutrients can be used for either metabolism or body tissue …

Ecological segregation of species is difficult to determine using conventional dietary
analysis techniques. However, stable-isotope analysis may provide a convenient means of …

Stable isotopes of carbon are commonly used to characterize dietary preferences in
animals. Because turnover rates of carbon isotopes are related to metabolic rate, we wanted …

In primates, age, sex, and social status can strongly influence access to food resources. In
Pan, these criteria are assumed to influence access to vertebrate meat. However, the …

Carbon isotopic signatures recorded in vertebrate tissues derive from ingested food and
thus reflect ecologies and ecosystems. For almost two decades, most carbon isotope-based …
