δ15N and δ13C cycles in narwhal (Monodon monoceros) embedded teeth reveal seasonal variation in ecology and/or physiology

Monitoring Arctic marine mammals in response to rapid climate change requires reliable longitudinal data. To obtain such data is challenging, but sequential measurements of stable isotopes (SI) from metabolically inert tissues like dentine allow for chronological reconstruction of SI data that can p...
