...Although the shift in H isotope ratio between diet and consumer is small relative to variation in the environment (Estep and Dabrowski 1980, Macko et al. 1983), H isotope ratios of consumers are affected by factors other than diet (DeNiro and Epstein 1981b)....

...Metabolic fractionation also may cause isotope ratios of different tissues to vary substantially within individual consumers (DeNiro and Epstein 1981a, Hobson and Clark 1992)....

...For the early studies by DeNiro and Epstein (1978, 1981a), the mean trophic shift for C ( 13C; denotes the change in isotope ratio between diet and consumer) was about +1‰, and the mean 15N was about +3‰....

...Nitrogen – Excreted nitrogen typically is depleted in (15)N relative to a consumer’s diet (DeNiro and Epstein 1981a) or tissues (Checkley and Miller 1989)....

...While trophic fractionation has received considerable recent attention (DeNiro and Epstein 1978; Peterson and Fry 1987; Post 2002; McCutchan et al. 2003), the synthesis and accumulation of lipids, which are depleted in 13C and typically have d13C values that are more negative than those for…...
