Stable isotope analysis has emerged as one of the primary means for examining the
structure and dynamics of food webs, and numerous analytical approaches are now …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 948–958 Abstract Many generalist populations are composed of
specialised individuals, whose niches are small subsets of the population niche. This …

The use of stable isotope data to infer characteristics of community structure and niche width
of community members has become increasingly common. Although these developments …

Considerable progress has been made in the development of statistical tools to quantify
trophic relationships using stable isotope ratios, including tools that address size and …

Vertebrates harbour diverse communities of symbiotic gut microbes. Host diet is known to
alter microbiota composition, implying that dietary treatments might alleviate diseases …

Background Stable isotope analysis is increasingly being utilised across broad areas of
ecology and biology. Key to much of this work is the use of mixing models to estimate the …

Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has proven to be a useful tool in reconstructing diets,
characterizing trophic relationships, elucidating patterns of resource allocation, and …

Animal foraging and competition are defined by the partitioning of three primary niche axes:
space, time, and resources. Human disturbance is rapidly altering the spatial and temporal …

I remember the first time I discovered the power of stable isotopes. It was by accident. It was
thirty years ago, when I was a beginning graduate student along the south Texas coast. That …

Ecosystems provide essential services for human society, which include provisioning,
regulating, cultural, and supporting services. Amphibians provide provisioning services by …
