Description:

The ecological application of stable isotope analysis (SIA) relies on taxa- and tissue-specific stable carbon (Δ13C) and nitrogen (Δ15N) isotope discrimination factors, determined with captive animals reared on known diets for sufficient time to reflect dietary isotope ratios. However, captive studies often prohibit lethal sampling, are difficult with endangered species, and reflect conditions not experienced in the wild.
