How important are terrestrial organic carbon inputs for secondary production in freshwater ecosystems?
Many freshwater systems receive substantial inputs of terrestrial organic matter. Terrestrially
derived dissolved organic carbon (t‐DOC) inputs can modify light availability, the spatial …

The ecological causes of individual specialisation
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 948–958 Abstract Many generalist populations are composed of
specialised individuals, whose niches are small subsets of the population niche. This …

Comparing isotopic niche widths among and within communities: SIBER–Stable Isotope Bayesian Ellipses in R
The use of stable isotope data to infer characteristics of community structure and niche width
of community members has become increasingly common. Although these developments …

Getting to the fat of the matter: models, methods and assumptions for dealing with lipids in stable isotope analyses
Within an organism, lipids are depleted in 13 C relative to proteins and carbohydrates (more
negative δ 13 C), and variation in lipid content among organisms or among tissue types has …

A guide to using compound-specific stable isotope analysis to study the fates of molecules in organisms and ecosystems
The measurement of stable isotopes in 'bulk'animal and plant tissues (eg, muscle or leaf)
has become an important tool for studies of functional diversity from organismal to …

Population-level metrics of trophic structure based on stable isotopes and their application to invasion ecology
Biological invasions are a significant driver of human-induced global change and many
ecosystems sustain sympatric invaders. Interactions occurring among these invaders have …
