Carbon and nitrogen isotopic analysis of Diamondback terrapin tissues, vegetative, and benthic invertebrate resources within Barnegat Bay, New Jersey during 3 sampling sessions between 2011-2019

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 05:04 AM | Dataset Last Updated: May 04, 2023 at 12:00 AM
This dataset represents stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic information from tissue samples collected from diamondback terrapins, potential prey items, and vegetation from 6 salt marsh sites (4 mainland, 2 island) within a 30 km section of southern Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, USA. Red blood cells were collected from terrapins in 2011 (mature females), and whole blood samples were collected in 2015 and 2019 from mature males and females and immature females. Vegetation and invertebrates prey samples were collected within proximity of terrapin capture sites in 2015 and 2019.
