bt.wallace.2023.RdEye lenses contain chronological isotopic records and can be used to create a temporal isotopic history throughout an individual's lifetime. The authors analyzed eye lens amino-acid d15N to address spatio-temporal baseline variability and to reconstruct trophic histories of 10 individual Red Snapper.
bt.wallace.2023The data frame 166 × 20 contains the following columns:
| fish_id | character | fish number assigned at capture | 
| lamina_layer | integer | number assigned lamina during disection; 1 = eye lens core | 
| laminar_radial_midpoint | numeric | average of the two radius measurements(mm) (before and after) taken during eye lens delamination per Wallace et al. (2014) | 
| estimated_Length | numeric | fish standard length estimated at each laminar radial midpoint (cm) | 
| d15n | numeric | bulk d15N (‰) of lamina | 
| d13c | numeric | bulk d13C (‰) of lamina | 
| alanine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| glycine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| valine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| leucine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| isoleucine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| threonine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| proline | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| serine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| aspartic_acid | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| methionine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| lysine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| glutamic_acid | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| phenylalanine | numeric | amino acid d15N (‰) of corresponding lamina | 
| trophic_position | numeric | trophic position calculated using equation TL=[(Glu-Phe-β)/TDF]+1, where TDF = 5.7 and β = 3.6 (Bradley et al. (2015)) | 
The dataset contains bulk eye-lens stable isotope (d13C and d15N) 10 individual Red Snapper.
