Carbon and nitrogen discrimination factors of wolves and accuracy of diet inferences using stable isotope analysis

ABSTRACT Dietary inferences using stable isotope analysis rely on comparing stable carbon and nitrogen isotope content of consumer to prey tissues by modeling discrimination between these tissues. Diet–tissue discrimination factors applied in these models for wild populations must be obtained from c...
