To understand the effects of predator removal in marine ecosystems requires accurate estimates of trophic position and trophic structure that have been difficult to obtain to date. For example, most sharks are classified as diet generalists that feed around trophic position 4, but this classification contradicts observations of diverse feeding behaviour among large species, suggesting that trophic...
Measures of trophic position (TP) are critical for understanding food web interactions and human‐mediated ecosystem disturbance. Nitrogen stable isotopes (δ15N) provide a powerful tool to estimate TP but are limited by a pragmatic assumption that isotope discrimination is constant (change in δ15N between predator and prey, Δ15N = 3.4‰), resulting in an additive framework that omits known Δ15N variation...
Stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon (δ15N and δ13C) provide an important tool to examine diet, trophic position and movement/migration of both aquatic and terrestrial animals. Over the past 10 years, there have been repeated calls to tighten up basic assumptions when applying stable isotopes, one of the most important being the application of accurate, species-specific diet-tissue discrimination...
