Abstract
â¶ Tissue fractionation for C and N differs between tissues. â¶ Similarity in isotope values for captive leaf-fed and wild individuals supports herbivory. â¶ Whole-body isotope values in captive tree weta demonstrate trophic depletion (Îδ) for δ15N of about â0.77â° and trophic enrichment of 4.28â° for δ13C. â¶ Food availability and foraging traits may contribute to wide isotopic variation among wild individuals.
