Assessing the effect of feather wear on carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios, and the use of stable isotopes to determine predator diets in the Namibian Islands marine protected area
The stable isotope (SI) approach is widely used in ecological research to tackle problems such as delineating food web structure or tracing the migratory origins of various organisms. This thesis first tested the widely accepted assumption that SI ratios are fixed in an inert tissue, and then used t...
