determining the sources of basal energy to a system and the trophic position of an organism. My goal is to use this
technique to explore the application of major food web theories in a South Florida ecosystem. In particular, I am
interested in learning about the relationships among primary productivity, abiotic environmental stress factors,
and food chain length.
