Tracing the diet of the monitor lizard Varanus mabitang by stable isotope analyses (delta(15)N, delta(13)C)

In this study, we used analyses of stable isotopes of nitrogen (delta(15)N) and carbon (delta(13)C) to determine the trophic ecology of the monitor lizard Varanus mabitang. Stable isotopes from claws, gut contents, and soft tissues were measured from the type specimen. Samples from Varanus olivaceus...
