Trophic niche of squids: Insights from isotopic data in marine systems worldwide
Cephalopods are an important prey resource for fishes, seabirds, and marine mammals, and
are also voracious predators on crustaceans, fishes, squid and zooplankton. Because of …

Feeding ecology and trophic position of three sympatric demersal chondrichthyans in the northwestern Mediterranean
Understanding how marine predators interact is a scientific challenge. In marine
ecosystems, segregation in feeding habits has been largely described as a common …

Fine-scale spatial age segregation in the limited foraging area of an inshore seabird species, the little penguin
Competition for food resources can result in spatial and dietary segregation among
individuals from the same species. Few studies have looked at such segregations with the …

Environmental variability drives shifts in the foraging behaviour and reproductive success of an inshore seabird
Marine animals forage in areas that aggregate prey to maximize their energy intake.
However, these foraging 'hot spots' experience environmental variability, which can …

Linking dietary shifts and reproductive failure in seabirds: a stable isotope approach
ND Kowalczyk, A Chiaradia, TJ Preston… - Functional …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Diet‐related breeding failure in seabirds has been attributed to declines in key prey
abundance, the quality of prey and overall prey availability. However, identifying which …

Searching for the true diet of marine predators: incorporating Bayesian priors into stable isotope mixing models
Reconstructing the diet of top marine predators is of great significance in several key areas
of applied ecology, requiring accurate estimation of their true diet. However, from …

Equations for lipid normalization of carbon stable isotope ratios in aquatic bird eggs
Stable isotope ratios are biogeochemical tracers that can be used to determine the source of
nutrients and contaminants in avian eggs. However, the interpretation of stable carbon ratios …
