Dear Isotopers,
I've already read papers where isotopic ratios were measured in organisms
(and particularly crustaceans) in their entirety (because the small height
of specimens for example) but I wonder what was the validity of such
results. Since the measures concern different tissues with different
turnover (cuticle, muscle...), how can we interpret those ratios ?

Thank you in advance
Fabienne
