Trophic ecology of a green turtle breeding population (2013, neutral): “The ellipse area was proposed as a metric that is unbiased with respect to sample size, and, particularly for the Bayesian method incorporates greater uncertainty with smaller sample sizes, resulting in larger ellipse areas (Jackson et al. 2011).”
The trophodynamics of marine top predators: Current knowledge, recent advances and challenges (2015, background): “The application of stable isotopes to identifying food-web connections has been greatly improved by the development of Bayesian mixing models (Jackson et al., 2011; Moore and Semmens, 2008; Parnell et al., 2010).”
Small scale camelid husbandry on the north coast of Peru (Virú Valley): Insight from stable isotope analysis (2014, methodology): “…this section were performed using the open source statistical computing package R (R Development Core Team, 2007) for Mac OS X, utilizing the SIBER (stable isotope Bayesian ellipses in R) scripts (Jackson et al., 2011) within the SIAR (stable isotope analysis in R) package (Parnell et al., 2010).”

Trophic niche of squids: Insights from isotopic data in marine systems worldwide (2013, methodology): “We calculated isotopic standard ellipse areas using the SIBER (Stable Isotope Bayesian Ellipses in R, Jackson et al., 2011) routine, also incorporated in the SIAR library of R 2.12.2 (R Development Core Team, 2011). We estimated the trophic position of squids based on the adjusted isotopic values fo”
Niche segregation of coexisting Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) constrains food web coupling in subarctic lakes (2013, methodology): “, 2012 and references therein), can be used as a convenient measure of the trophic niche width of a population and the individual specialisation within (Bearhop et al., 2004; Araújo et al., 2007; Jackson et al., 2011).”
Quantifying the multiple facets of isotopic diversity: New metrics for stable isotope ecology (2015, methodology): “In addition, it is important to notice that ellipse-based approaches make the assumption that stable isotope values are normally distributed (Jackson et al., 2011; Swanson et al., 2015).”
