About 10 years ago, reviews of the use of stable isotopes in animal ecology predicted
explosive growth in this field and called for laboratory experiments to provide a mechanistic …

Establishing patterns of movement of wild animals is crucial for our understanding of their
ecology, life history and behavior, and is a prerequisite for their effective conservation …

The ongoing evolution of tracer mixing models has resulted in a confusing array of software
tools that differ in terms of data inputs, model assumptions, and associated analytic products …

Summary 1 Although conceptually robust, it has proven difficult to find practical measures of
niche width that are simple to obtain, yet provide an adequate descriptor of the ecological …

The stable isotope composition of animal tissues can provide intrinsic tags to study the
foraging and migratory ecology of predators in the open ocean. Chapter 13 (this volume) …

Stable isotopes are now used widely in ecological studies, including diet reconstruction,
where quantitative inferences about diet composition are derived from the use of mixing …

Since the discovery of isotopes and the development of precise instrumentation capable of
measuring small differences in isotope abundances, there has been an interest in …

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 …

Naturally occurring variations in the stable isotope composition of fossil vertebrates have
been studied since the late 1970s. Isotopic data from vertebrate fossils are sometimes used …
