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 …

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 …

Stable isotope analysis has become an increasingly valuable tool in investigating animal
ecology. Here we document the turnover rates for carbon in the liver, muscle, and whole …

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 …

Carbon stable isotope (δ13C) analysis can be used to infer the origin and to estimate the
flow of nutrient resources through animals and across ecological compartments. These …

Naturally occurring stable isotope ratios can be a powerful tool in studies of animal nutrition,
provided that the assumptions required for dietary reconstruction are validated by studies …

Stable isotopes have proven to be a useful tool for deciphering food webs, examining
migration patterns and determining nutrient resource allocation. In order to increase the …

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 …

As part of a larger experiment, 31 young bulls, divided into three groups, were given different
diets containing either C3 plants or a combination of C3 and C4 plant‐based feeds in three …

Metabolic turnover rates (m) of δ15N and δ13C were assessed in different tissues of newly
hatched captive‐raised corn snakes (Elaphe guttata guttata) fed maintenance diets …
