A practical introduction to stable-isotope analysis for seabird biologists: Approaches, cautions and caveats (2009, background): “There is a great need to better understand the marine “isoscapes” of the world’s oceans (Cherel et al. 2008).”
From lavage to lipids: Estimating diets of seabirds (2012, unknown): “…of such measurements using a variety of seabird and prey tissues, ranging from temperate (Bearhop et al. 2000, Hipfner et al. 2010) to tropical (Awkerman et al. 2007, Cherel et al. 2008) and polar regions (Hodum & Hobson 2000, Hobson et al. 2002a,b, Quillfeldt et al. 2010, Phillips et al. 2011).”
Communal or competitive? Stable isotope analysis provides evidence of resource partitioning within a communal shark nursery (2011, methodology): “A post-hoc Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test for homogenous groups was undertaken to establish groupings of species which showed statistically significantly different carbon or nitrogen values (Cherel et al. 2008).”
Sexual segregation in distribution, diet and trophic level of seabirds: insights from stable isotope analysis (2011, background): “level (by »0.5–1‰), but can provide spatial information, including on relative reliance on inshore versus oVshore, or benthic versus pelagic diet, and on latitude where a gradient exists (Michener and Schell 1994; Cherel et al. 2006; Bearhop et al. 2000a; Thompson et al. 2000; Phillips et al. 2009”
Niche partitioning among and within sympatric tropical seabirds revealed by stable isotope analysis (2010, background): “…of δ13C and δ15N in both breeding and non-breeding periods observed at Palmyra were highly consistent with those observed on Europa Island and in the Seychelles (Catry et al. 2008, Cherel et al. 2008), suggesting that niche partitioning is consistent in very different parts of the species’ ranges.”
Ecological niche segregation within a community of sympatric dolphins around a tropical island (2011, background): “Conversely, in tropical 81 sympatric seabirds, important overlap of feeding niches has been found, which may be 82 interpreted by the low productivity of tropical oligotrophic waters, leading these predators to 83 share same feeding resources that are not quantitatively limited (Cherel et al. 2008).”
Using carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of body feathers to infer inter- and intra-individual variations of seabird feeding ecology during moult (2009, background): “Wing feathers are sampled either on killed birds (Hebert et al. 2008), on opportunistically collected dead birds (Bearhop et al. 1999; Cherel et al. 2002; Davoren et al. 2002), or, more commonly, on live birds (Cherel et al. 2000, 2008; Hedd and Montevecchi 2006).”
Apparent Resource Partitioning and Trophic Structure of Large-Bodied Marine Predators in a Relatively Pristine Seagrass Ecosystem (2013, result): “…predators that we documented is similar to that observed in other systems among large sharks (Papastamatiou et al. 2006), among dolphins (Kiszka et al. 2011), among sharks, dolphins, and piscivorous fishes (Pusineri et al. 2008), and between sea birds and piscivorous fishes (Cherel et al. 2008).”
Tracking seabirds to identify potential Marine Protected Areas in the tropical western Indian Ocean (2012, background): “At-sea surveys (Jaquemet et al., 2005) and diet analysis (Le Corre et al., 2003; Cherel et al., 2008; Jaquemet et al., 2008) indicate that this area is also the main foraging ground of most seabirds of the island.”
