• Nitrogen isotope fractionation in amino acids from harbor seals: implications for compound-specific trophic position calculations (2013, methodology): “…experiment conducted with an adult seal (Zhao 2002)1, coupled with the similar low TEF values for several other species (fast growing penguins in Lorrain et al. 2009), suggests age/ growth status as an unlikely explanation for the low TEF values across several different species shown in Fig.”
