Trophic Discrimination Factors of Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopes in Hair of Corn Fed Wild Boar
Original language description
Stable isotope measurements are increasingly being used to gain insights into the nutritional ecology ofmany wildlife species and their role in ecosystem structure and function. Such studies require estimations of trophic discrimination factors (i.e. differences in the isotopic ratio between the consumer and its diet). Although trophic discrimination factors are tissueand species- specific, researchers often rely on generalized, and fixed trophic discrimination factors that have not been experimentallyderived. In this experimental study, captive wild boar (Sus scrofa) were fed a controlled diet of corn (Zea mays), a popular and increasingly dominant food source for wild boar in the Czech Republic and elsewhere in Europe, and trophic discrimination factors for stable carbon (?13C) and nitrogen (?15N) isotopes were determined from hair samples. The mean ?13C and ?15Ninwild boar hair were ?2.3 and + 3.5, respectively. Also, in order to facilitate future derivations of isotopicmeasurement
