Trace me if you can: the use of intrinsic biogeochemical markers in marine top predators (2012, background): “Such analyses can also integrate dietary information from days to years, depending on their biochemical properties and the regeneration rate (ie turnover) of the target tissue (Figure 3; Newsome et al. 2007; Caut et al. 2009; Williams and Buck 2010).”
Can stable isotope ratios provide for community-wide measures of trophic structure? Comment. (2008, methodology): “We thank the National Science Foundation for support through grants DEB #0717265, DEB #0316679, and OCE #0746164.”
Age, body mass and environmental variation shape the foraging ontogeny of Galapagos sea lions (2012, positive): “In recent years, stable isotope analysis has become a powerful tool in the study of trophic ecology (Post 2002, Newsome et al. 2007, 2010).”
Isotopic ecology ten years after a call for more laboratory experiments (2009, background): “…be interested in the time course of the incorporation of the isotopic signature into an animal’s tissues for two reasons: first, this information determines the time window through which they can perceive the course of changes in the isotopic composition of an animal’s diet (Newsome et al. 2007).”
Applications of stable isotope analyses to avian ecology (2008, background): “One of these concepts is the ‘isotopic niche’ (Newsome et al. 2007), the idea being that under the right circumstances, variability in resource use either within an individual or between individuals in a population is likely to be reflected in isotopic variation in appropriately chosen consumer…”
Hawksbill sea turtles in seagrass pastures: success in a peripheral habitat (2010, background): “Within the same community, differences in d13C and d15N values reflect differences in diet, and d15N values allow us to evaluate the relative trophic position of species or individuals (Newsome et al. 2007).”
Short- and long-term consistency in the foraging niche of wandering albatrosses (2012, background): “Stable isotope analysis (SIA) Stable isotope analyses of carbon and nitrogen can provide useful insights into seabird diet, and they are a natural and crucial tool in contemporary studies of the ecological niche (Newsome et al. 2006).”
Ten years of experimental animal isotopic ecology (2009, positive): “Isotopic ecologists should be interested in the time-scale of the incorporation of the isotopic signature into an animal’s tissues because this information determines the time window through which they can perceive the course of diet changes in an animal (Dalerum & Angerbjörn 2005; Newsome et al. 20”
Polymodal foraging in adult female loggerheads (Caretta caretta) (2010, background): “These gradients can be characterized as scenopoetic (derived from habitat use), bionomic (derived from resource use), or both (Newsome et al. 2007).”
Isotopic niches and trophic levels of myctophid fishes and their predators in the Southern Ocean (2010, background): “Measuring the isotopic niche of animals is a powerful alternative to the conventional means of investigating various dimensions of their ecological niche (Newsome et al. 2007).”
