Advance your analytical toolkit for marine mammal ecology with our course Stable Isotope Mixing Models Using SIBER, SIAR & MixSIAR (SIMM12) — available live online and as a recorded option.
Stable isotope mixing models are essential for quantifying dietary contributions, movement ecology, trophic interactions, and habitat use. This course teaches practical implementation in R using three widely used packages, with workflows applicable to marine mammal datasets such as fatty acid or isotopic data from tissues, breath, or baleen.
