Effects of changes in isotopic baselines on the evaluation of food web structure using isotopic functional indices

Background This study aimed to assess whether ecological inferences from isotopic functional indices (IFIs) are impacted by changes in isotopic baselines in aquatic food webs. We used sudden CO2-outgassing and associated shifts in DIC-δ13C brought by waterfalls as an excellent natural experimental s...
