In the past 20 years the use of stable isotope analysis has become increasingly common in
ecological studies. In fact, in some instances these techniques have yielded remarkable …

During the course of their lives many vertebrates live and forage in environments
characterized by different salinities and must therefore respond to changes in salt intake …

By comparing the isotopic composition of tissues deposited at different times, we can identify
individuals that shift diets over time and individuals with constant diets. We define an …

Abstract Background Scylla paramamosain (Crustacea: Decapoda: Portunidae: Syclla De
Hann) is a commercially important mud crab distributed along the coast of southern China …

Because a broad spectrum of resource use allows species to persist in a wide range of
habitat types, and thus permits them to occupy large geographical areas, and because …

Vertebrates with terrestrial or freshwater ancestors colonized the sea from the Early Triassic
onward and became competitively dominant members of many marine ecosystems …

One of the fastest growing uses of stable isotope analysis in ecology is using hydrogen
isotope (δ2H) values to characterize animal movement and migration strategies. Most …

Both the mean and the variation in environmental temperature are increasing globally.
Indeed, the predicted increases in temperature range from 2 to 4° C in the next 50 years …

Understanding physiological traits and ecological conditions that influence a species
reliance on metabolic water is critical to creating accurate physiological models that can …

El considerar a Cygnus melanocoryphus como un herbívoro generalista que se alimenta de
las algas y pastos marinos más abundantes en los humedales-entre ellos los costeros-que …
