Sources of variation in consumer-diet δ15N enrichment: a meta-analysis
MA Vanderklift, S Ponsard - Oecologia, 2003 - Springer

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 …
