Stable isotope analysis has emerged as one of the primary means for examining the
structure and dynamics of food webs, and numerous analytical approaches are now …

Fifty years ago, GE Hutchinson defined the ecological niche as a hypervolume in n‐
dimensional space with environmental variables as axes. Ecologists have recently …

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 …

Stable isotope ratios (typically of carbon and nitrogen) provide one representation of an
organism's trophic niche and are widely used to examine aspects of food web structure. Yet …

Ontogenetic dietary shifts (ODSs), the changes in diet utilisation occurring over the life span
of an individual consumer, are widespread in the animal kingdom. Understanding ODSs …

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 …

Restoration ecology is a young academic field, but one with enough history to judge it
against past and current expectations of the science's potential. The practice of ecological …

Fish have proven to be model organisms for the study of animal personalities, and a rich
literature documents consistent interindividual behavioral differences in a variety of species …

Stable isotope analyses have emerged as an insightful tool for ecologists, with quantitative
methods being developed to analyse data at the population, community and food web …

Within the tropical and subtropical oceans, tuna forage opportunistically on a wide variety of
prey. However, little is known about the trophic ecology of the smallest size classes which …
