Description:1. Understanding the effect of stage- specific traits on species feeding habits can reveal how natural selection shapes life strategies. Amino acid (AA) nitrogen stable isotopes (δ15N) provide multiple proxies of habitat baseline values and diet that can improve our understanding of species feeding strategies relative to their animal metabolism. We evaluated the effect of body length as a proxy for life stage and sex on the feed - ing habits of the common dolphin Delphinus delphis delphis using δ 13C and δ15N in
