Special Issue "Applications of Stable Isotope Analysis".

To this end, stable carbon ( SP 13 sp C) and oxygen ( SP 18 sp O) isotope ratios of dental carbonates from both archaeological and modern samples from Boodie Cave (Barrow Island) were analysed. Thanks to this study, the authors were able to conclude that skipjack tuna in western Taiwan had a slightly higher trophic position and that opportunistic predation may result in different predator-prey size dynamics between regions (stable isotope values increased with body size in eastern Taiwan). 33805066 7 Chang Y.-C., Chiang W.-C., Madigan D.J., Tsai F.-Y., Chiang C.-L., Hsu H.-H., Lin S.-M., Zhuang M.-Y., Sun C.-T., Chen L.-C.
