A Fatty Acid Based Bayesian Approach for Inferring Diet in Aquatic Consumers.

A Fatty Acid Based Bayesian Approach for Inferring Diet in Aquatic Consumers.

We modified the stable isotope mixing model MixSIR to infer primary producer contributions to consumer diets based on their fatty acid composition. To parameterize the algorithm, we generated a 'consumer-resource library' of FA signatures of Daphnia fed different algal diets, using 34 feed...
