Uncertainty in source partitioning using stable isotopes
DL Phillips, JW Gregg - Oecologia, 2001 - Springer
Stable isotope analyses are often used to quantify the contribution of multiple sources to a
mixture, such as proportions of food sources in an animal's diet, or C 3 and C 4 plant inputs …

Incorporating concentration dependence in stable isotope mixing models
DL Phillips, PL Koch - Oecologia, 2002 - Springer
Stable isotopes are often used as natural labels to quantify the contributions of multiple
sources to a mixture. For example, C and N isotopic signatures can be used to determine the …

Converting isotope values to diet composition: the use of mixing models
DL Phillips - Journal of Mammalogy, 2012 - academic.oup.com
A common use of stable isotope analysis in mammalogy is to make inferences about diet
from isotope values (typically δ13C and δ15N) measured in tissues and food sources of a …

The effect of dietary protein quality on nitrogen isotope discrimination in mammals and birds
We tested the competing hypotheses that (1) nitrogen discrimination in mammals and birds
increases with dietary nitrogen concentration or decreasing C: N ratios and, therefore …
