• From lavage to lipids: Estimating diets of seabirds (2012, positive): “Popp et al. (2007) used this approach by measuring δ15N values of trophic (alanine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid) and source (glycine, phenylalanine) AAs in yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares to estimate tuna TL: TL = 1 + (δ15NGlutamic acid – δ 15NGlycine)/7 (3) Should this relationship hold for…”

• Movements and foraging of predators associated with mesophotic coral reefs and their potential for linking ecological habitats (2015, methodology): “Muscle tissues were subjected to acid hydrolysis, esterification of the carboxyl terminus and trifluoracetylation of the amine group (Popp et al. 2007, Dale et al. 2011).”

• Trophic ecology of a green turtle breeding population (2013, positive): “Previous studies using AA-CSIA have quantified trophic levels of marine organisms without having to characterize baseline δ15N values (Popp et al. 2007, Han- 238 Vander Zanden et al.: Green turtle trophic ecology nides et al. 2009, Dale et al. 2011, Seminoff et al. 2012), which is particularly…”

• Biochemical and physiological bases for the use of carbon and nitrogen isotopes in environmental and ecological studies (2015, methodology): “…method has been used to analyze not only ecological samples but also samples from related fields including anthropology, paleontology, and oceanography to investigate issues related to diet (e.g., Naito et al. 2010; Kashiyama et al. 2010; Popp et al. 2007; Miller et al. 2012; Ohkouchi et al. 2013).”

• Embracing variability in amino acid δ15N fractionation: mechanisms, implications, and applications for trophic ecology (2016, background): “Currently, two derivative systems account for most published AA δ15N data: N- pivaloyl isopropyl esters (Pv/ iPr; e.g., Chikaraishi et al. 2007, 2009) and Ntrifluoroacetyl isopropyl esters (TFA/iPr; e.g., McCarthy et al. 2007, Popp et al. 2007).”
• On the Use of Stable Isotopes in Trophic Ecology (2011, background): “First, isotopic signatures estimated by averaging over individual constituent compounds closely agree with those estimated directly from bulk tissues (Popp et al. 2007, McMahon et al. 2010, Morrison et al. 2010).”
