Table 2. Estimated proportional prey inputs from Bayesian isotope mixing model (MixSir) of trophic groups (TG) to diets of nine predator species and to diets of trophic groups as a whole (TG3-5). Values reported are for 1×107 iterations and priors based on wasp-waist assumptions [1 3 1 1], as discussed in methods.
