Amino acid-specific isotopes reveal changing five-dimensional niche segregation in Pacific seabirds over 50 years
Abstract Hutchison’s niche theory suggests that coexisting competing species occupy non-overlapping hypervolumes, which are theoretical spaces encompassing more than three dimensions, within an n-dimensional space. The analysis of multiple stable isotopes can be used to test these ideas where each i...
