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

Using stable isotopes to estimate trophic position: models, methods, and assumptions
DM Post - Ecology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
The stable isotopes of nitrogen (δ15N) and carbon (δ13C) provide powerful tools for
estimating the trophic positions of and carbon flow to consumers in food webs; however, the …

Sources of variation in consumer-diet δ15N enrichment: a meta-analysis
MA Vanderklift, S Ponsard - Oecologia, 2003 - Springer
Measurements of δ 15 N of consumers are usually higher than those of their diet. This
general pattern is widely used to make inferences about trophic relationships in ecological …

Variability in δ13C and δ15N trophic discrimination factors for teleost fishes: a meta-analysis of temperature and dietary effects
Stable isotope analysis (SIA) is widely used to assess animal diet and movements, requiring
accurate estimates of trophic discrimination factors (TDFs). Since TDFs are only available for …
