Using stable isotopes to measure the dietary responses of Costa Rican forest birds to agricultural countryside

Using stable isotopes to measure the dietary responses of Costa Rican forest birds to agricultural countryside

How human modification of native habitats changes the feeding patterns and nutritional ecology of tropical birds is critical to conserving avian biodiversity, but tropical bird diets are laborious to investigate using the traditional methods of diet analysis. Stable isotope analysis provides a cost-...
