Taxonomic distinctness in the diet of two sympatric marine turtle species [PDF]
, 2016 Marine turtles are considered keystone consumers in tropical coastal ecosystems and their decline through overexploitation has been implicated in the deterioration of reefs and seagrass pastures in the Caribbean. In the present study, we analysed stomach

Hydrogen isotope assimilation and discrimination in green turtles [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 ABSTRACT Although hydrogen isotopes (δ2H) are commonly used as tracers of animal movement, minimal research has investigated the use of δ2H as a proxy to quantify resource and habitat use. While carbon and nitrogen are ultimately derived from a single source (food), the proportion of hydrogen in consumer tissues originates from two ...
