Compound-specific stable isotope analyses in Falkland Islands seabirds reveal seasonal changes in trophic positions

Compound-specific stable isotope analyses in Falkland Islands seabirds reveal seasonal changes in trophic positions

Abstract Background While nitrogen and carbon stable isotope values can reflect ecological segregation, prey choice and spatial distribution in seabirds, the interpretation of bulk stable isotope values is frequently hampered by a lack of isotopic baseline data. In this study, we used compound-speci...
