Abstract

In an era of major environmental changes, understanding corals' resistance to bleaching is as crucial as it is challenging. A promising framework for inferring corals' trophic strategies from Stable Isotope Bayesian Ellipses has been recently proposed to this end. As a contribution to this framework, we quantify a risk of bias inherent in its application and propose three alternative adjustments.
