BennettIncluded here is a detailed sample collection protocol for obtaining M. birostris muscle tissue samples from free swimming animals. Additionally, the CN isotope values for individual Manta birostris and surface zooplankton tows are presented, along with mixing model summary statistics for the mean credible interval source contributions of surface zooplankton and mesopelagic sources to M. birostris diet.
