Table 3. Variance component analysis from linear mixed-model analysis for G. cuvier δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N for two tissue (muscle and liver) and three tissue (muscle, liver and skin) models.

The between-individual component (BIC) represents the total intercept variance and the within-individual component (WIC) represents the residual variance. Total niche width (TNW) is the sum of the intercept and residual variances for δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N. Total BIC and total WIC are calculated by combining the intercept variances for δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N and then dividing by TNW. Proportion of WIC and BIC that explained TNW is in parentheses.
