• Foraging ecology of five toothed whale species in the Northwest Iberian Peninsula, inferred using carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (2012, background): “Carbon isotopes were also measured in samples collected during the PELACUS0399 (March 1999) and PELACUS0300 (March 2000) surveys in the same area (Bode et al., 2003).”
• Diet and feeding intensity of sardine Sardina pilchardus: correlation with satellite-derived chlorophyll data (2008, background): “…with previous stomach content (numerical and volumetric estimates) and stable isotope studies of the Iberian sardine diet (Varela et al. 1988, 1990, Bode et al. 2003, Garrido 2003), although the dietary contribution of fish eggs was significantly higher in the present than in earlier studies.”
• A three-isotope approach to disentangling the diet of a generalist consumer: the yellow-legged gull in northwest Spain (2010, background): “This structural and dynamic complexity is of particular relevance to marine ecosystems, especially in habitats with enhanced productivity such as upwelling areas, where high species richness contributes to increased linkage density and exceptional resource abundance (Bode et al. 2003; Link 2002).”
• Stable isotope analysis in two sympatric populations of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus: evidence of resource partitioning? (2011, background): “Second, decreasing d15N content may be seen with increasing predator body sizes as happens with sardines, in NW Spain, when their main prey changes to species at a lower trophic level (Bode et al. 2003).”
• Phytoplankton and macrophyte contributions to littoral food webs in the Galician upwelling estimated from stable isotopes (2006, background): “Samples representing phytoplankton in our study were collected in spring to reduce the presence of nonphytoplanktonic particles, as the main blooms are produced during this season (Bode et al. 2003, 2004a,b).”
• Laboratory investigations on the effect of prey size and concentration on the feeding behaviour of Sardina pilchardus (2007, unknown): “The correspondence between the ambient food environment and stomach contents suggest that sardines are essentially filter-feeders whose diet reflects plankton composition (Varela et al. 1990, Bode et al. 2003).”
• Stable nitrogen isotope studies of the pelagic food web on the Atlantic shelf of the Iberian Peninsula (2007, background): “Samples of the muscle of the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) were obtained from individuals stranded on the coast (Bode et al., 2003).”
