Trophic position and dietary breadth of bats revealed by nitrogen isotopic composition of amino acids

Bats perform important ecosystem services, but it remains difficult to quantify their dietary strategies and trophic position (TP) in situ. We conducted measurements of nitrogen isotopes of individual amino acids (δ (15)N(AA)) and bulk-tissue carbon (δ (13)C(bulk)) and nitrogen (δ (15)N(bulk)) isoto...
