• Do dragonflies migrate across the western Indian Ocean? (2009, background): “…(and vice versa) at the appropriate times; regular recording of migrant dragonfly arrival dates, mass movements, numbers and breeding activity at different locations on the proposed migration routes; and trace element or stable isotope analysis (May & Matthews 2008, Rubenstein & Hobson 2004).”
• Trophic ecology of a green turtle breeding population (2013, positive): “Stable isotope analysis has become increasingly advantageous for revealing resource use patterns in highly migratory marine vertebrates (Rubenstein & Hobson 2004).”
• Short- and long-term consistency in the foraging niche of wandering albatrosses (2012, background): “Moreover, different tissues have different turnover rates and therefore can reflect temporal changes in trophic position and foraging habitat (i.e., a change in isotopic niche; reviewed in Rubenstein and Hobson 2004; Bond and Jones 2009).”
• Ontogenetic changes in diet and habitat use in green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) life history (2008, background): “If the turtles were consuming a similar seagrass-based diet as those in Moreton Bay, but were foraging at higher latitudes, it is likely their δ13C signature would be depleted compared with those of Moreton Bay (Rau et al. 1982, Rubenstein & Hobson 2004).”
• From lavage to lipids: Estimating diets of seabirds (2012, positive): “This isotope can be very useful in segregating pelagic versus inshore or benthic food webs and is very useful for delineating estuarine versus marine habitats (Peterson & Fry 1987, Rubenstein & Hobson 2004, Hebert et al. 2008, Moreno et al. 2010).”
• SEASONAL INTERACTIONS, HABITAT QUALITY, AND POPULATION DYNAMICS IN MIGRATORY BIRDS (2007, methodology): “In birds, feathers have been widely used for isotopic analyses (Hobson 1999, Rubenstein and Hobson 2004) because they are metabolically inert after growth and therefore represent a reliable signature at the time of molt (Hobson and Wassenaar 1997, Chamberlain et al. 1997).”
• Effects of acid treatment on carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in ecological samples: a review and synthesis (2014, positive): “to track the movements of animals (Hobson 1999; Rubenstein and Hobson 2004; Zbinden et al. 2011); 10.”
• Applications of stable isotope analyses to avian ecology (2008, background): “1998, Rubenstein & Hobson 2004, Bearhop et al .”
• Using Isoscapes to Track Animal Migration (2010, background): “ecosystems (Kennedy et al. 2002; reviewed by Rubenstein and Hobson 2004; Barnett-Johnson et al. 2008).”
• Diet and foraging areas of Southern Ocean seabirds and their prey inferred from stable isotopes: review and case study of Wilson's storm-petrel (2005, background): “Carbon can therefore be used to assess foraging location (reviewed in Hobson 1999, Rubenstein & Hobson 2004).”
