Fifty years later: trophic ecology and niche overlap of a native and non-indigenous fish species in the western basin of Lake Erie (2013, background): “…of carbon (d 13 C) and nitrogen (d 15 N) reveal distinct aspects of a consumer's long-term trophic niche by providing a time-and space-integrated representation of dietary carbon sources and relative trophic position (Peterson and Fry 1987; DeNiro and Epstein 1981; Layman and Allgeier 2012).”

Diet richness of invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish revealed by DNA barcoding (2013, background): “This trophic label was suggested for lionfish at the population level on the basis of stable isotope analyses, which suggested that lionfish feed across multiple trophic levels and on prey that rely on various carbon sources (Layman & Allgeier 2012).”
