Changes in Northwest Hawaiian Island Monk Seal (Monachus schauinslandi) Populations as Evidenced by Stable Isotope Ratios

Changes in Northwest Hawaiian Island Monk Seal (Monachus schauinslandi) Populations as Evidenced by Stable Isotope Ratios

The endangered Hawaiian monk seal has been undergoing dramatic population declines for several decades. These declines may be linked to food resources or environmental changes and this is reflected in the stable isotope analysis of the monk seals. The use of stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N)...
