Multi‐tissue stable isotope analyses reveal temporal changes in the feeding patterns of green turtles in the Galapagos Marine Reserve

Abstract: Knowledge of feeding patterns of highly migratory species is critical for understanding their habitat use and informing the management of their populations. The Galapagos Islands are one of the most important nesting and feeding areas for green turtles (Chelonia mydas) across the tropical eastern Pacific, yet little is known about the feeding patterns of this species. The isotopic composition of different tissues has been used to gain insight into the trophic dynamics of mobile aquatic consumers whose trophic … Show more

“…The trophic niche width is associated with diversity and availability of food resources which were considered to be the most important factors in shaping trophic niche (Bearhop et al, 2004; Páez‐Rosas et al, 2020). The broad SEA B values suggested diversity of food sources and habitat utilization.…”
