Congruence in stable isotope values among two sympatric freshwater mussel species in northern New Zealand streams

Describes a research study that measures the presence of isotopes 13 Carbon, 12 Carbon, 15 Nitrogen and 14 Nitrogen in freshwater mussels found in three streams in northern Waikato (Ohautira Stream, Mangapiko Stream and Kahururu Stream) to help understand the effects of soft tissue type (foot versus...

Description
Summary:Describes a research study that measures the presence of isotopes 13 Carbon, 12 Carbon, 15 Nitrogen and 14 Nitrogen in freshwater mussels found in three streams in northern Waikato (Ohautira Stream, Mangapiko Stream and Kahururu Stream) to help understand the effects of soft tissue type (foot versus remaining tissue), species and sex on these parameters. Looks also at differences between sites that vary in levels of catchment land-use intensity.
