Historic diet change of the South American sea lion in Patagonia as revealed by isotopic analysis (2009, background): “Furthermore, the fractionation factors determined experimentally for other pinniped species (Hobson et al. 1996, Kurle 2002) are for tissues other than bone, and, due to the high divergences observed among tissues, any diet reconstruction based on them will be meaningless.”
Variation in δ13C and δ15N diet–vibrissae trophic discrimination factors in a wild population of California sea otters (2010, methodology): “For mammalian carnivores, we only have laboratory-derived TDFs for seals (Hobson et al. 1996, Kurle 2002, Lesage et al. 2002, Zhao et al. 2006) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes; Roth and Hobson 2000).”
Using stable isotope biogeochemistry to study marine mammal ecology (2010, background): “Kurle (2002) found significant differences in 13C values of serum and plasma in comparison to red blood cells (RBCs) in captive northern fur seals and attributed this to differences in the amount of lipid present in each blood component.”
Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Discrimination and Turnover in Pond Sliders Trachemys Scripta: Insights for Trophic Study of Freshwater Turtles (2007, background): “In soft-tissues of birds and mammals, Ddt 15N factors range from +0.2% to +5.2% (Hobson and Clark, 1992a; Kurle, 2002; Klaassen et al., 2004), whereas those for fish are +2.3% to +5.0% (Hesslein et al., 1993; Pinnegar and Polunin, 1999).”
