Stable isotope mixing models (SIMMs) are an important tool used to study species' trophic
ecology. These models are dependent on, and sensitive to, the choice of trophic …

Stable isotope analysis provides a powerful tool to identify the energy sources which fuel
consumers, to understand trophic interactions and to infer consumer trophic position (TP), an …

Stable isotope analysis is increasingly being used to assess diet and trophic positions of
animals. Such assessments require estimates of trophic discrimination factors (TDFs)—offset …

Over the last few decades, the use of stable isotope ratios in ecological studies has
increased greatly, most notably in the area of trophic ecology and food webs (Peterson and …

Over the last few decades, the use of stable isotope ratios in ecological studies has
increased greatly, most notably in the area of trophic ecology and food webs (Peterson and …

The stable isotopes of nitrogen (δ15N) and carbon (δ13C) provide powerful tools for
estimating the trophic positions of and carbon flow to consumers in food webs; however, the …

Determining the trophic niche width of an animal population and the relative degree to which
a generalist population consists of dietary specialists are long‐standing problems of …

As concerns about anthropogenic and natural disturbance grow, understanding animal
resource use patterns has been increasingly prioritized to predict how changes in …

Stable isotope analysis of consumer tissues document patterns of resource use because
data are linearly related to isotope compositions of their source (s)(ie, food, water, etc.) …

Stable isotope analysis is one of the most widely used techniques to estimate trophic
position and provides fundamental insight into the structure and management of ecological …
