Stable isotope data for nitrogen and carbon from short-tailed shearwaters, collected to document dietary trends. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in April 2026. Available file formats include PNG, XLS, and HTML.
Use Cases
- Modeling seabird dietary trends over time based on stable isotope data.
- Analyzing trophic level shifts in marine ecosystems based on nitrogen isotope ratios.
- Investigating carbon source variations in seabird diets based on carbon isotope data.
Strengths
- Data focuses on a specific species (short-tailed shearwater) for targeted analysis.
- Includes both nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes for multi-faceted dietary study.
- Last updated in April 2026, suggesting potential for recent data.
Limitations
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
