Variation in δ15N and δ13C trophic fractionation: Implications for aquatic food web studies
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A broad-scale analysis of stable isotope techniques to quantify food web relationships requires a priori estimates of the enrichment or depletion in δ15N and δ13C values between prey and predator, known as trophic fractionation, including three new field estimates from aquatic systems.
