Effects of lipid extraction and the utility of lipid normalization models on δ13C and δ15N values in Arctic marine mammal tissues
Animals store lipids, which are 13 C-depleted, in their tissues that often must be extracted to
correctly interpret δ 13 C data. However, chemical lipid extraction (CLE) can alter δ 15 N …
