MarTurtSI_2b_ComprehensiveDataTable_ReviewedStudiesSummary_2018

113 studies using stable isotope analysis in marine turtles reviewed and summarized in a Comprehensive Data Table as .xlsx file. Summary of studies reviewed employing stable isotope analysis (SIA) of δ13C and/or δ15N to investigate different aspects of marine turtle trophic ecology, sometimes combined SIA with satellite tracking. Table summarizes for each study: the study region, life stages surveyed, sample sizes, tissues used for SIA, major findings and reference. Studies are organized by marine turtle species > ocean basin. Juveniles and subadult stages were usually sampled in foraging areas if not indicated otherwise. The study categories A-D & M refer to a hierarchical concept model introduced in Figgener, Bernardo and Plotkin (2018) (manuscript in preparation); M indicates method papers. References marked with S indicate studies that have supplementary data available online, with * indicate studies included in the quantitative dataset.
