Contents
Combining the use of predators as biological samplers together with measurements of the stable isotopic ratios (δ13CBulk and δ15NBulk) of their sclerotized beaks help investigate foraging ecology of poorly known oceanic cephalopods. However, high chitin content (an amino-sugar macromolecule) lowers beak δ15NBulk values, thus precluding direct isoto...
