Juveniles of a number of reef fish species develop in shallow-water Œnursery¹ habitats such
as mangroves and seagrass beds, and then migrate to the coral reef. This implies that some …

Stable isotope analysis has become an important tool in studies of trophic food webs and
animal feeding patterns. When animals undergo rapid dietary shifts due to migration …

Stable isotopes can illuminate resource usage by organisms, but effective interpretation is
predicated on laboratory validation. Here we develop stable isotope clocks to track resource …

Assessing connectivity is fundamental to understanding the population dynamics of fishes. I
propose that isotopic analyses can greatly contribute to studies of connectivity in estuarine …

Diadromous fishes are a frequent but poorly understood component of coastal riverine fish
communities in Australia. There are~ 33 diadromous fishes found in Australian waters …

There are very few studies reporting isotopic trophic discrimination factors and turnover rates
for marine elasmobranchs. A controlled laboratory experiment was conducted to estimate …

Stable-isotope ratios of carbon (13 C/12 C) and nitrogen (15 N/14 N) are widely used in the
analysis of animal diets. However, using these stable-isotope ratios to infer dietary changes …

Rationale Stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N values) provide a unique perspective into
the ecology of animals because the isotope ratio values of consumers reflect the values in …

Nitrogen stable isotopes are frequently used in ecological studies to estimate trophic
position and determine movement patterns. Knowledge of tissue-specific turnover and …

Stable isotopes are widely used as time-integrating tracers of trophic interactions, but
turnover rates of isotopes in animal tissues remain poorly understood. Here, we report …
