Abstract
Analysis of individual amino acid (AA) δ15N values is increasingly common in studies of food web architecture, movement ecology, and biogeochemical cycling. However, observations that nitrogen isotope fractionation of AAs may vary across species and trophic positions (TP) complicate the application of compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) in studies of aquatic food webs. We reared a common estuarine fish (Fundulus heteroclitus) on...
