Isotopic ecology ten years after a call for more laboratory experiments (2009, methodology): “Caut et al. (2008a) found that the models worked best when they used discrimination factors estimated experimentally.”
Variation in discrimination factors (Δ15N and Δ13C): the effect of diet isotopic values and applications for diet reconstruction (2009, background): “…(ii) the diet scale, which includes the diet protein quality (Post 2002; McCutchan et al. 2003; Vanderklift & Ponsard 2003; Robbins et al. 2005), the type of food (Webb, Hedges & Simpson 1998; Vander Zanden & Rasmussen 2001) and the diet isotopic ratio (Felicetti et al. 2003; Caut et al. 2008a).”
Best practices for use of stable isotope mixing models in food-web studies (2014, background): “Furthermore, these models can incorporate uncertainty in the assigned values of DTDFs as well, which is one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in applying mixing models to food webs (Caut et al. 2008a; Bond and Diamond 2011).”
Dietary niche differentiation among three species of invasive rodents (Rattus rattus, R. exulans, Mus musculus) (2013, background): “…using isotopes to estimate trophic levels Dietary niches for three rodent species 1045 and determine the types of species which consumers feed upon may be challenging without supplemental dietary analysis such as stomach contents (Stapp 2002; Caut et al. 2008a; Quillfeldt et al. 2008; this study).”
Biology and Impacts of Pacific Island Invasive Species. 11. Rattus rattus, the Black Rat (Rodentia: Muridae) (2014, methodology): “Vertebrate species, such as turtles, tortoises, lizards, and bats, are prey items of R. rattus, as evidenced by diet assessments or observations (Clark 1981, Daniel 1990, Caut et al. 2008a [see section on Diet]); however, the community-level impacts of this consumption have yet to be investigated.”
