Zinc Isotope Ratios as Indicators of Diet and Trophic Level in Arctic Marine Mammals

Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of bone collagen are an established method for dietary reconstruction, but this method is limited by the protein preservation. Zinc (Zn) is found in bioapatite and the isotopic compositions of this element constitute a very promising dietary indicator. The e...
