I just did a quick search to see if i could find any publications on stable isotope work being done for freshwater turtles and only came up with one direct hit and a few maybe's (heap of sea turtle stuff). Is this really the case? Has no one really looked at where f/w turtles sit in regards to trophic structure in rivers etc? If i am missing something here is it possible to get pointed in the right direction? Oh yeah and i also wanted to know if there is a humane (no huge gaping open biopsy holes) non lethal way say/site to get tissue that is suitable for this type of work?
Thanks for all the help. I love being a part of this group.
