Data from: The effects of lipid extraction on δ13C and δ15N values and use of lipid-correction models across tissues, taxa, and trophic groups

This file contains three sheets. The first sheet, titled read.me, contains column title information for the second and third sheets. The second sheet contains data on stable carbon and nitrogen values of bulk and lipid-extracted samples from liver, skin, and muscle of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus). For this sheet, each row contains the sample and animal ID, tissue type, species, bulk and lipid extracted stable carbon and nitrogen values, and carbon:nitrogen (CN) ratios, as well as the difference between the bulk and lipid-extracted stable carbon and nitrogen values and CN ratios. The third sheet contains meta-analysis data that was obtained from the literature. For this sheet, each row represents a species and contains information on the taxonomic and trophic groups as well as data on the differences between bulk and lipid-extracted liver, muscle, and skin samples as well as bulk CN ratio for each tissue type and the reported instrumental error.
