Preservation of fatty acid signatures in three vertebrate species after six months of storage at various temperatures.

Fatty acid (FA) signatures (FAS) are important tools to assess the foraging ecology of wild animals. The present study was conducted to assess how well the general FAS and the proportions of individual FA are preserved in fat samples stored at different temperatures (-196, -80, -20, +4 and +20°C).
