Investigating Isotopic Niche Space: Using rKIN for Stable Isotope Studies in Archaeology
Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, 2021Archaeological applications of stable isotope data have become increasingly prevalent, and the use of these data continues to expand rapidly. Researchers are starting to find that recovering data for multiple elements provides additional insight and quantitative data for answering questions about past human activities and behaviors. Many stable isotope

Niche partitioning among mule deer, elk, and cattle: Do stable isotopes reflect dietary niche?
Écoscience, 2003AbstractWe examined dietary niches of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), North American elk (Cervus elaphus), and free-ranging cattle (Bos taurus) that frequently co-occur in western North America. We tested the hypothesis that those three species would exhibit little overlap in diet and that mule deer, the smallest in body size of the three species ...

Studying animal niches using bulk stable isotope ratios: an updated synthesis
Oecologia, 2020The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of animal interactions in wild populations. While the isotopic niche offers a useful means to understand interactions at many ecological resolutions (e.g., individual, population,

rKIN: Kernel‐based method for estimating isotopic niche size and overlap
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2020Abstract The isotopic niche of consumers represents biologically relevant information on resource and habitat use. Several tools have been developed to quantify niche size and overlap. Nonetheless, methods adapted by spatial ecologists to quantify animal home ranges can be modified for use in stable isotope ecology when data are not normally ...

Overlap and partitioning of the ecological and isotopic niches
Oikos, 2010Recently, it was proposed that stable isotope patterns can be used to quantify the width of the ecological niche of animals. However, the potential effects of habitat use on isotopic patterns of consumers have not been fully explored and consequently isotopic patterns may yield deceptive estimates of niche width.

Coastal niches for terrestrial predators: a stable isotope study
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2010The purpose of this study was to identify the use of marine versus terrestrial food items by terrestrial arthropod predators on Baltic Sea shores. The inflow of marine nutrients in the area consists mainly of marine algal detritus and emerging aquatic insects (e.g., chironomids).

Individual variation of isotopic niches in grazing and browsing desert ungulates
Oecologia, 2015Ungulates often adjust their diet when food availability varies over time. However, it is poorly understood when and to what extent individuals change their diet and, if they do so, if all individuals of a population occupy distinct or similar dietary niches.
