One of the ideal features of the food web in Banc d’Arguin is the distinct stable isotope (SI) ratios of δ13C and δ15N of three major food types (mollusks, seagrass, and a mildly toxic bivalve), enabling reconstruction of the red knot diet composition on the basis of tissue samples (blood and feathers, revealing diet over time scales of weeks and months, respectively) 5.
