Variation in trophic shift for stable isotope ratios of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur
Use of stable isotope ratios to trace pathways of organic matter among consumers requires knowledge of the isotopic shift between diet and consumer. Variation in trophic shift among consumers can be substantial. For data from the published literature and supplementary original data (excluding fluid-feeding consumers), the mean isotopic shift for C was +0.5 0.13‰ rather than 0.0‰, as commonly as...
متن کاملEffects of euthanasia method on stable-carbon and stable-nitrogen isotope analysis for an ectothermic vertebrate.
RATIONALE Stable isotope analysis is a critical tool for understanding ecological food webs; however, results can be sensitive to sample preparation methods. To limit the possibility of sample contamination, freezing is commonly used to euthanize invertebrates and preserve non-lethal samples from vertebrates. For destructive sampling of vertebrates, more humane euthanasia methods are preferred ...
متن کاملTrophic Relationships and Habitat Preferences of Delphinids from the Southeastern Brazilian Coast Determined by Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotope Composition
To investigate the foraging habitats of delphinids in southeastern Brazil, we analyzed stable carbon (δ(13)C) and nitrogen (δ(15)N) isotopes in muscle samples of the following 10 delphinid species: Sotalia guianensis, Stenella frontalis, Tursiops truncatus, Steno bredanensis, Pseudorca crassidens, Delphinus sp., Lagenodelphis hosei, Stenella attenuata, Stenella longirostris and Grampus griseus....
متن کاملStable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Discrimination and Turnover in Pond Sliders Trachemys scripta: Insights for Trophic Study of Freshwater Turtles
The ecologies of vertebrate species have been increasingly studied via stable isotope analyses of small quantities of body tissues. However, critical assumptions relating to the consistency in stable isotopic values in consumer tissues and their diet as well as the rate of incorporation of diet-derived stable isotopes into consumer tissues remain poorly validated for most taxa despite numerous ...
متن کاملCarbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of three types of oyster tissue in an impacted estuary
The stable isotope ratios of carbon (dC) and nitrogen (dN) of the muscle, ctenidia and viscera of the Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata, showed the dilution and assimilation of tertiary treated sewage along an estuarine gradient. The enriched N values of oyster ctenidia and viscera from within 50 m of the sewage outfall indicated the use of N-enriched tertiary treated sewage effluent (16...
