Foraging ecology of Mediterranean fin whales in a changing environment elucidated by satellite tracking and baleen plate stable isotopes
International audience We investigated seasonal shifts in diet and distribution of fin whales Bala en optera physalus occurring in the western Mediterranean Sea. For this purpose, we combined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ13C, δ15N) along 10 baleen plates collected from stranded fin wh...
