Title Sources of variability and comparability between salmonid stomach contents and isotopic analyses: study design lessons and recommendations
Creator Budy, Phaedra E. Vinson, Mark R.
Description We compared sources of variability and cost in paired stomach content and stable isotope samples from three salmonid species collected in September 2001–2005 and describe the relative information provided by each method in terms of measuring diet overlap and food web study design. Based on diet analyses, diet overlap among brown trout, rainbow trout, and mountain whitefish was high, and we observed little variation in diets among years. In contrast, for sample sizes n ≥ 25, 95% confidence...
