• Marine mammals from the southern North Sea: feeding ecology data from δ13C and δ15N measurements (2003, background): “The use of naturally occurring carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes has provided complementary data to marine mammal feeding ecology (Hobson & Welch 1992, Abend & Smith 1995, Smith et al. 1996, Hobson et al. 1997, Burns et al. 1998, Hobson & Schell 1998, Das et al. 2000, 2003).”
• Trophic niche of squids: Insights from isotopic data in marine systems worldwide (2013, result): “When we compared results with other top predators, different squids such as the Dana octopus squid, Taningia danae, or the neosquid, Nototeuthis dimegacotyle, have isotopic values similar to sympatric top predators such as sperm whales, Physeter macrocephalus, common dolphins, Delphinus delphi, and ”
• Using stable isotope biogeochemistry to study marine mammal ecology (2010, methodology): “This strategy has been applied to small cetacean populations in the southwestern Mediterranean Sea, the northeast Atlantic Ocean, and Black Sea (Das et al. 2000, 2004b; Borrell and Aguilar 2005; Borrell et al. 2006); ringed seal populations in the Canadian Arctic (Fisk et al. 2002a); minke whales in”
• Communal or competitive? Stable isotope analysis provides evidence of resource partitioning within a communal shark nursery (2011, background): “…marine food webs (Hobson & Welch 1992, Michener & Schell 1994, Hobson et al. 2002), and focusing on specific teleost species (Thomas & Cahoon 1993, Das et al. 2000, Harvey et al. 2002, Cunjak et al. 2005, Perga & Gerdeaux 2005, Schlacher et al. 2005), little research has been published on SIA for…”
• Food-web inferences of stable isotope spatial patterns in copepods and yellowfin tuna in the pelagic eastern Pacific Ocean (2010, background): “Similarly, Das et al. (2000) explained isotopic differences in co-occurring albacore tuna, striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), and common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) by the strong migration cycle of albacore tuna.”
• Ecological and pathological factors related to trace metal concentrations in harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena from the North Sea and adjacent areas (2004, methodology): “Stable isotope analysis has been used previously to provide a continuous variable with which to assess both trophic level (Michener & Schell 1994, Hobson et al. 1995, Das et al. 2003b) and transfer of contaminants (Kidd et al. 1995, Das et al. 2000, 2003a).”
• Heavy metals in marine mammals (2002, background): “Marine mammals might mitigate the toxic effects of cadmium through binding to metallothioneins (reviewed by Das et al., 2000).”

• Dolphin sympatric ecology (2005, background): “Slightly different diets for sympatric striped dol- phins and short-beaked common dolphins were observed by Das et al. (2000) in the northeast Atlantic (Bay of Biscay).”
