Interpretation of southern hemisphere humpback whale diet via stable isotopes; implications of tissue-specific analysis.

Blubber and skin are commonly used tissues in stable isotope analysis for the purpose of investigating cetacean diet. Critical comparison of tissue-specific isotopic signals is, however, lacking resulting in uncertainty surrounding the representativeness and therefore utility of different tissues fo...
