Whether carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N) can resolve herbivore diets across fine spatial scales is particularly unclear in the rapidly changing Arctic. Here, we used stable isotope analysis to assess fine-scale summer dietary differences of Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus...
