Embracing variability in amino acid δ15N fractionation: mechanisms, implications, and applications for trophic ecology
Abstract Compound‐specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) of individual amino acids (AAs) has become a powerful analytical tool in trophic ecology. Heavily fractionating “trophic” AAs (e.g., glutamic acid: Glu) provide a robust indicator of trophic transfer, while minimally fractionating “source” AA...
