Stable isotope records of sei whale baleens from Chilean Patagonia as archives for feeding and migration behavior

Abstract Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope variations in baleen plates of sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis) stranded after a mass mortality event in Chilean Patagonia were investigated to assess potential dietary and migratory patterns. Carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of seven bal...
