Trace me if you can: the use of intrinsic biogeochemical markers in marine top predators
Human activities have serious impacts on marine apex predators. Inadequate knowledge of
the spatial and trophic ecology of these marine animals ultimately compromises the viability …

Using isoscapes to trace the movements and foraging behavior of top predators in oceanic ecosystems
The stable isotope composition of animal tissues can provide intrinsic tags to study the
foraging and migratory ecology of predators in the open ocean. Chapter 13 (this volume) …

Using ocean models to predict spatial and temporal variation in marine carbon isotopes
Natural‐abundance stable isotope ratios provide a wealth of ecological information relating
to food web structure, trophic level, and location. The correct interpretation of stable isotope …

Long‐term individual foraging site fidelity—why some gannets don't change their spots
Many established models of animal foraging assume that individuals are ecologically
equivalent. However, it is increasingly recognized that populations may comprise individuals …

Identifying migrations in marine fishes through stable‐isotope analysis
The isotopic composition of many elements varies across both land and ocean surfaces in a
predictable fashion. These stable‐isotope ratios are transferred into animal tissues …
