• Lifetime foraging patterns of the wandering albatross: Life on the move! (2014, methodology): “The isotopic method was validated in the albatross foraging area locatedwithin the southern Indian Ocean, inwhich the δ(15)N values of seabirds increased with trophic level (Cherel et al., 2010), while δ(13)C values indicated latitudinal (but not longitudinal) feeding habitats (Cherel and Hobson, 20”
• Combination of At-Sea Activity, Geolocation and Feather Stable Isotopes Documents Where and When Seabirds Molt (2016, methodology): “The isotopic method was validated in the southern Indian Ocean (encompassing the petrel feeding areas), with δ 13 C-values of seabirds indicating their latitudinal foraging habitats (Jaeger et al., 2010b) and their δ 15 N-values increasing with trophic level (Cherel et al., 2010).”
• Food web dynamics in the Scotia Sea in summer: A stable isotope study (2012, background): “7 TLs from POM (TL1) to the top fish predator in the system, which is at the lower end, but comparable to food chain lengths reported from other Southern Ocean and temperate marine ecosystems (Rau et al., 1991a, 1992; Das et al., 2003; see Vander Zanden and Fetzer, 2007; Cherel et al., 2010).”
• A review on mesopelagic fishes belonging to family Myctophidae (2011, background): “…targeted fishes like tuna, sharks as well as cetaceans (Whales, Dolphins), pinnepeds (Seals, Sea-Lions), diving seabirds in the pelagic region and also for grenadiers in the demersal areas (Kozlov 1995; FAO fisheries 1997; Balu and Menon 2006; Karuppasamy et al. 2007a, b; Cherel et al. 2010).”
• Quantifying carbon fluxes from primary production to mesopelagic fish using a simple food web model (2019, background): “Estimates of myctophid fish trophic position derived from stable isotope analysis of nitrogen (d15 N) in bulk tissues (Cherel et al., 2010) and individual amino acids (Choy et al., 2015; Hetherington et al., 2017) vary from 3.3 to 4.2, indicating that these fish are secondary and tertiary consumers.”
