- Nitrogen isotope fractionation in amino acids from harbor seals: implications for compound-specific trophic position calculations (2013, background): “…have inherent limitations, such as the potential for unrecognized variation in isotopic values at the base of food webs, uncertainties about isotopic routing of macromolecules during tissue synthesis, and variable trophic enrichment factors (Martínez del Rio et al. 2009, Newsome et al. 2010).”
- Tools for quantifying isotopic niche space and dietary variation at the individual and population level (2012, positive): “…study, we used previously published d13C and d15N data for 2 California sea otter (E. l. nereis) populations from San Nicolas Island (SNI) and Monterey Bay (MB) and their respective prey; see Newsome et al. (2009, 2010) for details on sampling strategy, tissue pretreatment, and isotopic analyses.”
- New Insights into Pelagic Migrations: Implications for Ecology and Conservation (2012, background): “More recently, stable isotopes have proven to be an excellent way to identify where animals forage during migrations because they can be used to track the large-scale displacements and also the geographic range of both extant and ancient animals (Newsome et al. 2010, Zbinden et al. 2011).”
- Age, body mass and environmental variation shape the foraging ontogeny of Galapagos sea lions (2012, background): “In recent years, stable isotope analysis has become a powerful tool in the study of trophic ecology (Post 2002, Newsome et al. 2007, 2010).”

- Stable isotopes evaluate exploitation of anthropogenic foods by the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) (2010, background): “The carbon (d13C) and nitrogen (d15N) isotope compositions of animal tissues have been used to investigate trophic relationships and quantify diet composition of myriad terrestrial and marine species (Kelly 2000; Newsome et al. 2010; Schoeninger and DeNiro 1984).”
