Stable isotope ecology of South African kelp forests
… they occur, they play a key role in coastal ecology and local fisheries. In South Africa, Ecklonia maxima and Laminaria pallida form kelp forests which support diverse ecological communities. The species composition of these communities has been shown to be spatially variable along the South …

Stable isotope ecology of modern herbivores from Mmabolela, Limpopo
This thesis explores the stable isotope ecology of 12 species of co-existing wild herbivores (11 mammals and one reptile) (62 individuals) from Mmabolela, a game farm on the northern border of South Africa in the Limpopo Province. The aim is to investigate and interpret patterns in δ13C, δ15N and …

Invasive fish effects on the invertebrate constituents of wetland communities
… overlap of fish and dabbling waterfowl using stable isotope analysis. Brook stickleback (Culaea inconstans) and pumpkinseed (Lipomis gibbosus) pose a potentially growing threat to temperate Pacific drainages of North America due to their ability to outcompete native fauna. Our study compares …

Carbon flow and food web structure in the mesopelagic zone of the North Atlantic Ocean
… dissertation, I use carbon compound-specific stable carbon isotope analysis of amino acids (CSIA-AA) and DNA gut metabarcoding methodologies to provide a broad ecological outlook on mesopelagic carbon flow coupled with finer scale taxonomic details. In Chapter 2, I analyze the diets of seven …
