Application of Nitrogen and Carbon Stable Isotopes (δ(15)N and δ(13)C) to Quantify Food Chain Length and Trophic Structure

Increasingly, stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (δ(15)N) and carbon (δ(13)C) are used to quantify trophic structure, though relatively few studies have tested accuracy of isotopic structural measures. For laboratory-raised and wild-collected plant-invertebrate food chains spanning four trophic level...
