Searching for the true diet of marine predators: incorporating Bayesian priors into stable isotope mixing models.
Reconstructing the diet of top marine predators is of great significance in several key areas of applied ecology, requiring accurate estimation of their true diet. However, from conventional stomach content analysis to recent stable isotope and DNA analyses, no one method is bias or error free. Here...
