Stable isotope ratio analysis to differentiate temporal diets of a free-ranging herbivore

Stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) in tissue samples of herbivores can identify photosynthetic pathways (C3 vs. C4) of plants consumed. We present results from free‐ranging Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus) that highlight the ability to differentiate diets us...
