Diet-specific biomarkers show that high-quality phytoplankton fuels herbivorous zooplankton in large boreal lakes (2014, background): “However, trophic enrichment is rarely actually measured with feeding trials (del Rio et al., 2009), and has only recently been investigated for other isotopes such as deuterium (Graham, Harrison & Harrod, 2014).”
A Guide to Using Compound-Specific Stable Isotope Analysis to Study the Fates of Molecules in Organisms and Ecosystems (2019, methodology): “Bulk tissue isotope analysis complements traditional methods such as gut content analysis, with the benefits of illustrating the assimilated diet integrated over time [2,7].”
Using stable isotope biogeochemistry to study marine mammal ecology (2010, methodology): “Martı́nez del Rio and AndersonSprecher (2008) and Carleton et al. (2008) have evaluated the necessity of this approach by quantifying the uncertainty inherent in estimates of isotope retention by multicompartment models and by testing whether multicompartment models are more effective than single-co”
The problem of isotopic baseline: Reconstructing the diet and trophic position of fossil animals (2011, background): “A number of other factors besides diet and trophic position can affect the measured isotopic signatures of organisms and the amount of individual variation within a species (Gannes et al., 1997; McCutchan et al., 2003; Martinez del Rio et al., 2009).”
Best practices for use of stable isotope mixing models in food-web studies (2014, background): “Several review and meta-analysis papers (McCutchan et al. 2003; Vanderklift and Ponsard 2003; Dalerum and Angerbjörn 2005) summarized this variation as a function of a number of environmental and physiological factors that include environment (terrestrial, freshwater, marine), trophic level, taxon,…”
Diet tracing in ecology: Method comparison and selection (2017, background): “Accurately estimating dietary use from a consumer’s isotope ratio requires an accurate estimate of the TDF (Martínez del Rio et al., 2009).”
Starvation physiology: reviewing the different strategies animals use to survive a common challenge. (2010, background): “Compound-specific stable isotope analyses show promise for exploring protein and amino acid dynamics during starvation (Martinez del Rio et al., 2009).”
Tools for quantifying isotopic niche space and dietary variation at the individual and population level (2012, positive): “For example, a recent wave of controlled feeding experiments examined isotopic incorporation (or turnover) rates for a wide variety of tissues and taxonomic levels (Martı́nez del Rio et al. 2009b), which is essential for accurate interpretation of applied studies.”
