Journal ArticleDOI
A niche for isotopic ecology
TL;DR: To make isotopic measurements comparable to other niche formulations, this work proposes transforming δ-space to p-space, where axes represent relative proportions of isotopically distinct resources incorporated into an animal's tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining sources in stable isotope mixing models: alternative methods.
TL;DR: An option is a priori to combine sources with similar signatures so the number of sources is small enough to provide a unique solution, and contributions from functionally related groups of sources can be summed a posteriori, producing a range of solutions for the aggregate source that may be considerably narrower.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using stable isotope biogeochemistry to study marine mammal ecology
TL;DR: This review supplies a complete list of published SIA contributions to marine mammal science and highlights informative case examples in four general research areas: physiology and fractionation, foraging ecology and habitat use, ecotoxicology, and historic ecology and paleoecology.
Book ChapterDOI
Using Isoscapes to Trace the Movements and Foraging Behavior of Top Predators in Oceanic Ecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrated that by comparing the isotope values of an animal and its local prey or environment, the animal's movements can be estimated, given that isotopic variation exists between habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural origins and the isotopic identity of domestication in northern China
TL;DR: The stable isotope methodology used here is probably the best means of detecting the symbiotic human–plant–animal linkages that develop during the very earliest phases of domestication and is thus applicable to the areas where these connections first emerged and are critical to explaining how and why agriculture began in East Asia.
