• Variation in winter diet of southern Beaufort Sea polar bears inferred from stable isotope analysis (2007, positive): “There is generally a 3%–5% increase in d15N values with each trophic transfer (Hobson and Welch 1992; Kelly 2000), which provides an integrated measure of the trophic position of an organism over time (Atwell et al.”
• STABLE ISOTOPES AND THE DETERMINATION OF AVIAN MIGRATORY CONNECTIVITY AND SEASONAL INTERACTIONS (2005, background): “…of several recent reviews (Hobson 1999, 2003, 2005a; Rubenstein and Hobson 2004), and the interested reader is referred to these as well as to Kelly (2000) and Martínez del Rio and Wolf (1995) for more background on isotopic applications to migratory connectivity in particular, and more…”
• Hydrogen isotope ratios in animal body protein reflect trophic level (2005, positive): “This has led to the use of 8'5N in trophic level and food web studies (Hobson 1990; Gu, Schelske & Hoyer 1996; O'Connell & Hedges 1999; Kelly 2000).”
• Major components of grizzly bear diet across North America (2006, background): “We assumed salmon was the main marine-derived food of grizzly bears; other potential foods such as eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus (Richardson, 1836)) and other fishes, seals, whales, and invertebrates have similar isotopic signatures (Kelly 2000; Kurle and Worthy 2001; Ben-David et al. 2004).”
• Ecological and pathological factors related to trace metal concentrations in harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena from the North Sea and adjacent areas (2004, positive): “The use of δ13C and δ15N measurements is based on the assumption that the isotopic composition of an animal reflects that of its prey (reviewed by Gannes et al. 1998, Kelly 2000).”
• Temporal variation in body composition (C : N) helps explain seasonal patterns of zooplankton δ13C (2005, background): “A more common approach is to extract lipids from organisms prior to d(13)C analysis (Kelly, 2000), under the rationale that synthesised lipids do not reflect the d(13)C of the organism’s food source (Tieszen et al.”
• Niche partitioning among and within sympatric tropical seabirds revealed by stable isotope analysis (2010, background): “Changes in carbon isotopes due to trophic level differentiation are presumed to be generally small in seabirds, and given the limited range of δ15N observed in the present study, trophic variation is not likely to be an important explanatory factor of δ13C here (Kelly 2000).”
