Isotopic niche differs between seal and fish‐eating killer whales (Orcinus orca) in northern Norway

Abstract Ecological diversity has been reported for killer whales (Orcinus orca) throughout the North Atlantic but patterns of prey specialization have remained poorly understood. We quantify interindividual dietary variations in killer whales (n = 38) sampled throughout the year in 2017–2018 in nor...
