Isotopic reconstruction of marine food webs using cephalopod beaks: new insight from captively raised Sepia officinalis (2006, background): “However, no previous studies have examined the relationship between isotope ratios in cephalopod beaks and those in their diet, and few studies have reported on isotope ratios in the soft tissues of cephalopods that provide nutrition to consumers of cephalopods (Ruiz-Cooley et al. 2004).”
Stable isotopes in jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) beaks to estimate its trophic position: comparison between stomach contents and stable isotopes (2006, background): “U.K. (2006), 86, 437^445 Printed in the United Kingdom Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (2006) species such as sperm whales (Ruiz-Cooley et al., 2004).”
Leatherback turtles as oceanographic indicators: stable isotope analyses reveal a trophic dichotomy between ocean basins (2006, background): “Values of d 13 C indicate the proximity of marine vertebrate consumers’ foraging habitats to the coast (i.e., pelagic vs. near-shore) (Rau et al. 1983; Rubenstein and Hobson 2004 ).”
Tissue, ontogenic and sex-related differences in δ13C and δ15N values of the oceanic squid Todarodes filippovae (Cephalopoda: Ommastrephidae) (2009, unknown): “Scant information is available on the stable isotopic signatures of cephalopods, but a few preliminary works have underlined their potential for investigating migration and trophic level (Takai et al. 2000; Ruiz-Cooley et al. 2004, 2006; Cherel and Hobson 2005).”
Shallow food for deep divers: Dynamic foraging behavior of male sperm whales in a high latitude habitat (2008, background): “…difficult to observe, has been studied in different areas of the world with a variety of methods (Whitehead, 1996; Jaquet and Whitehead, 1999; Jaquet et al., 2001; Madsen et al., 2002b; Miller et al., 2004a; Rendell et al., 2004; Drouot et al., 2004; Ruiz-Cooley et al., 2004; Watwood et al., 2006).”
Trophic ecology of green sea turtles in a highly urbanized bay: Insights from stable isotopes and mixing models (2011, methodology): “Stable isotopic analyses (SIA) have been increasingly used to explore the foraging ecology of many marine vertebrates, including cetaceans (Ruiz-Cooley et al., 2004), pinnipeds (Kurle, 2002), seabirds (Hobson, 1993), sharks (Estrada et al., 2003), teleosts (Thomas and Cahoon, 1993), and sea turtles…”
