Linking millipede trophic niche to litter–millipede elemental composition across an altitudinal gradient

Geoderma
Knowledge on a species trophic niche is critically important for understanding species diversity and ecosystem functions. Nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) stable isotopes are effective tools for characterizing trophic niches, but may be complemented by ...
