Individual variation in nursing duration and resource use among narwhals (Monodon monoceros) from eastern Canadian Arctic using stable isotopes (d13C and d15N) of dentine from embedded teeth

Individual variation in nursing duration and resource use can have cumulative effects on population growth and species resilience in response to resource changes. There have been climate-induced shifts in prey resources in the Arctic since the 1980s; however, knowledge regarding narwhal nursing and...
