We found that maternal provisioning was detectable for up to 3.5 years after birth in muscle but only detectable in young-of-the-year for liver. Inclusion of sulphur revealed when maternal signatures disappeared from low-turnover tissue, while also identifying the spatial and trophic ecology patterns from fast-turnover tissue. These results reveal the importance of sampling fast turnover tissues to study the trophic ecology of juvenile elasmobranchs, and how the use of only δ15N and δ13C isotopes is likely to make maternal patterns more difficult to detect.]]> Thu 09 Jun 2022 09:43:28 AEST ]]> Reliance of young sharks on threatened estuarine habitats for nutrition implies susceptibility to climate change https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48199 Sat 11 Mar 2023 12:30:31 AEDT ]]>
