Spatial models cannot compensate for sampling designs unstructured relative to isotopic variation: implications for baseline isoscape development in the Mediterranean Sea
Isoscapes – spatial models of stable isotope ratios – are powerful tools for understanding biogeochemical cycles, food web structure, and ecological connectivity. In marine systems, however, broad-scale isoscapes are difficult to constrain because reference datasets are typically heterogeneous and o
