Irrespective of their development in the uterus, embryos had similar δ¹³C values in their muscle tissue as the mothers and both had greater values than in the histotroph. During gestation, δ¹³C values increased across all sample types. However, while embryo muscle tissue and the histotroph were associated with increasing ¹⁵N levels during embryonic development, this was depleted in the mothers’ muscle tissue and yolk. Although speculative, the observed variation in stable‐isotope ratios might imply a dietary shift among gravid females during their early gestation. Irrespective of the underlying mechanisms, the results indicate neonates will have relatively greater δ¹⁵N values than post‐partum females, which would probably confound juvenile foraging‐ecology estimates.]]> Tue 26 May 2020 13:53:17 AEST ]]>
