Stable isotope analysis of feces can provide a non-invasive method for tracking the dietary
habits of nearly any mammalian species. While fecal samples are often collected for …

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 …

RATIONALE Stable isotope analysis in ecological studies is usually conducted on
biomaterials, eg muscle and blood, that require catching the animals. Feces are rarely used …

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 …

Rationale Stable isotope analysis is widely used to reconstruct diet, delineate trophic
interactions, and determine energy pathways. Such ecological inferences are based on the …

Recently, Caut, Angulo & Courchamp (2009, Journal of Applied Ecology) published a review
on diet‐tissue isotopic shifts in animals. They concluded that diet‐tissue shifts are influenced …

Estimating stable isotopic offset values is crucial for dietary reconstructions. Although
research into stable isotope ecology of wild nonhuman primates is increasing overall, only a …

Stable isotope analyses of tissues and faeces offer an alternative to study the dietary
ecology in wild animal populations. Faecal isotope analyses are advantageous because …

The stable isotopes of carbon (12C, 13C) and nitrogen (14N, 15N) represent powerful tools
in food web ecology, providing a wide range of dietary information in animal consumers …

Stable isotope analysis is frequently applied as a tool to examine dietary patterns in animals.
However, some of the underlying assumptions associated with using this approach are …
