Enhancing insights into foraging specialization in the world's largest fish using a multi-tissue, multi-isotope approach

Intra‐species variability in foraging strategies may be common, which has significant implications for efforts to understand and manage enigmatic species like the whale shark Rhincodon typus . The ecological relevance of differences in tissue isotopes within and between individuals in the context of foraging however depends on understanding tissue turnover times and carbon (Δ 13 C) and nitrogen (Δ 15 N) discrimination, which can vary with...
