The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

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 …

Stable‐isotope analysis (SIA) can act as a powerful ecological tracer with which to examine
diet, trophic position and movement, as well as more complex questions pertaining to …

The white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a wide-ranging apex predator in the
northeastern Pacific (NEP). Electronic tagging has demonstrated that white sharks exhibit a …

There is growing evidence for individuality in dietary preferences and foraging behaviors
within populations of various species. This is especially important for apex predators, since …

Stable isotope analysis has provided insight into the dietary and habitat patterns of many
birds, mammals and teleost fish. A crucial biological parameter to interpret field stable …

The foraging ecology of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, and rays) is difficult to study
because species have spatially and temporally diverse diets. Many diet and habitat …

Marine predators will often perform diel and seasonal movements associated with specific
habitats. In tropical areas, mesophotic coral reefs may be an important habitat type for many …

Stable isotope analysis (SIA) is becoming a commonly used tool to study the ecology of
elasmobranchs. However, the retention of urea by elasmobranchs for osmoregulatory …

Calculation of dietary niche characteristics using stable isotopes has become a popular
approach to understand the functional role of taxa across food webs. An underlying …
