“…Spatial variability of δ 15 N included the general depletion of 15 N in taxa from Site A. This pattern was observed in other BDC invertebrates [ 23 ], but not in more mobile large fishes [ 41 ]. Despite Site A generally being more depleted with 15 N, when standardized to basal signatures, Dromogomphus , Stylurus , Gomphus and Boyeria actually occupied higher trophic positions in this site.…”

“…fluminea , but caution is warranted because we have not confirmed the fractionation rate of 15 N and a lower fractionation rate would increase the calculated trophic position. Four species of predatory fish were calculated to average trophic positions of 3.04, 3.50, 3.72, and 3.94 for Channel Catfish, Bowfin, Largemouth Bass, and Longnose Gar, respectively, from δ 15 N’s of 11.1, 12.7, 13.5, and 14.2 [ 41 ]. Whether comparing the calculated trophic position or the δ 15 N directly, the dragonflies fell between the predatory fish and herbivores as expected for a predatory aquatic insect.…”

“…The ratio of heavy to light isotope is typically reported as parts per thousand (per mil, ‰) relative to a known standard (denoted using δ , where δ = [[Rsample/Rstandard]−1]) [1,4,8,20,78,79]. Certain stable isotopes, such as carbon (indicated as the ratio 13 C/ 12 C or as δ 13 C, reported hereafter relative to Vienna Pee-Dee Belemnite or VPDB), nitrogen (indicated as the ratio 15 N/ 14 N or as δ 15 N, reported hereafter relative to atmospheric N 2 or AIR) and oxygen (indicated as the ratio 18 O/ 16 O or δ 18 O, reported hereafter relative to Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water or VSMOW), have been extensively used to study the ecology of a wide variety of taxa [1,3,9,14,15,26,5054,56,5860,6469,73,80105] from a range of different habitats [1,17,18,49,52,54,57,106110]. Which isotope is used depends on the study questions, as different isotopic ratios relate to different aspects of the ecology, physiology and environment of an organism [1,3,4,20,78,111].…”
