The isotopic niche of Atlantic, biting marine mammals and its relationship to skull morphology and body size
Abstract Understanding the trophic niches of marine apex predators is necessary to understand interactions between species and to achieve sustainable, ecosystem-based fisheries management. Here, we review the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios for biting marine mammals inhabiting the Atlantic...
