- Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Discrimination and Turnover in Pond Sliders Trachemys Scripta: Insights for Trophic Study of Freshwater Turtles (2007, background): “Controlled laboratory studies of isotopic discrimination and elemental turnover for reptiles have focused on sea turtles (Seminoff et al., 2006; K. Reich, unpubl. data), and there have been no examinations of these aspects in freshwater turtles.”
- Trophic ecology of green sea turtles in a highly urbanized bay: Insights from stable isotopes and mixing models (2011, unknown): “Considering that the minimum δ15N of foods analyzed in the study area is 10.4‰, and that green turtles should exhibit tissue isotope values that are 15N-enriched relative to their diet (Seminoff et al., 2006), we believe that a δ15N ≤10.4‰ is unlikely for a green turtle residing in San Diego Bay.”
- Ontogenetic changes in diet and habitat use in green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) life history (2008, background): “Given discrimination factors of approximately +2.8‰ and +0.17‰ for δ15N and δ13C respectively in green turtle epidermal tissue (Seminoff et al. 2006), it is likely that these turtles were feeding predominantly on seagrass (Tables 2 & 3), as has been observed in mouth and dietary stomach lavage…”
- Trophic ecology of a green turtle breeding population (2013, unknown): “The observed range in δ15N values of 6.3‰ in the nesting population could represent 2 or more trophic levels, if calculated using available bulk nitrogen isotope discrimination factors for epidermis in green turtles (2.8 to 4.0‰; Seminoff et al. 2006, Vander Zanden et al. 2012).”
