• Diet and trophic position of Leach's storm-petrel Oceanodroma leucorhoa during breeding and moult, inferred from stable isotope analysis of feathers (2006, methodology): “SIA has also recently been used to identify foraging locations and therefore movements of birds between breeding and non-breeding seasons (e.g. Hobson 1999, Cherel et al. 2000, Quillfeldt et al. 2005).”
• A three-isotope approach to disentangling the diet of a generalist consumer: the yellow-legged gull in northwest Spain (2010, methodology): “Stable isotope signatures of consumer tissues and food resources can be used as an additional technique to infer diet (Quillfeldt et al. 2005; Ramos et al. 2009a; Sanpera et al. 2007).”
• Nitrogen and carbon isotope values of individual amino acids: a tool to study foraging ecology of penguins in the Southern Ocean (2009, background): “For example, bulk δ(13)C values have been used to determine the foraging habitats of cetaceans and seabirds (Best & Schell 1996; Cherel et al. 2006, 2007; Quillfeldt et al. 2005) and bulk δ(15)N analyses have been used to delineate temporal changes in the foraging regions of marine mammals (e.”
• A practical introduction to stable-isotope analysis for seabird biologists: Approaches, cautions and caveats (2009, background): “Factors other than diet may influence isotopic composition in seabird tissues, including foraging area (Quillfeldt et al. 2005, Cherel & Hobson 2007), body condition (Hobson et al. 1993) and metabolic rate (Kitaysky 1999).”
• The importance of pelagic longline fishery discards for a seabird community determined through stable isotope analysis (2010, background): “) (Quillfeldt et al., 2005; Cherel and Hobson, 2007), a considerable change in values”
• Migratory dichotomy and associated phenotypic variation in marine turtles revealed by satellite tracking and stable isotope analysis (2011, background): “Stable isotopes cannot be as readily applied to animals in marine habitats as, in comparison to terrestrial systems, information on marine isoscapes at the scale over which these animals move is scarce and/or only applicable to specific environmental conditions (Quillfeldt et al. 2005).”
• Diving seabirds share foraging space and time within and among species (2010, background): “All studied birds were attending chicks at the nest during this time.”
• Isotopic evidence of distinct feeding ecologies and movement patterns in two migratory predators (yellowfin tuna and swordfish) of the western Indian Ocean (2007, background): “…and conserved through several trophic levels (up to pelagic consumers) across 77 ocean basins (Takai et al. 2000; Wallace et al. 2006) or within a region of a single basin 78 (Schell et al. 1989; Lesage et al. 2001; Quillfeldt et al. 2005; Cherel and Hobson 2005, 2007; 79 Cherel et al. 2005).”
• Using carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of body feathers to infer inter- and intra-individual variations of seabird feeding ecology during moult (2009, methodology): “…at diVerent times of the moult cycle have been used to depict temporal changes in the isotopic niche of adult seabirds during the inter-nesting period and, in rare cases, between the non-breeding and breeding periods (Bearhop et al. 2000; Quillfeldt et al. 2005; Hedd and Montevecchi 2006).”
