Variable δ(15)N diet-tissue discrimination factors among sharks: implications for trophic position, diet and food web models.

Variable δ(15)N diet-tissue discrimination factors among sharks: implications for trophic position, diet and food web models.

The application of stable isotopes to characterize the complexities of a species foraging behavior and trophic relationships is dependent on assumptions of δ(15)N diet-tissue discrimination factors (∆(15)N). As ∆(15)N values have been experimentally shown to vary amongst consumers, tissues and diet...
