Measurements of trophic ontogeny at the individual level often complement population\u2010level assessments, detailing foraging strategies that have underpinned long\u2010term growth and survival. Using stable isotope measurements from muscle and eye lenses, we modeled size\u2010based patterns in basal resource use and trophic position across multiple levels of organization for three New Zealand reef fishes (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>Notolabrus fucicola<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>Odax pullus,<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    and\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>Parapercis colias<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ). From lens\u2010derived data series, we were able to estimate trends and variability in lifetime trophic ontogeny of each species, as well as size\u2010structured changes in breadth and interspecific overlap of resource use. For adults, broadly similar trophic shifts were reflected in isotopic composition of both muscle tissue and lens layers, with subtle differences between tissues for some combinations of species and ecological metric. Critically, only samples from eye lenses yielded estimates of resource use that supported early growth. Specifically, our measurements suggested heightened reliance on macroalgal food webs during post\u2010settlement dispersal of two carnivores (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>N. fucicola<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>P. colias<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ), as well as variable peaks in omnivory at small sizes for\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>O. pullus<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    , a primary herbivore. Trophic shifts modeled from eye lenses of carnivorous species were generally similar throughout early development, but highly inconsistent among juvenile\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>O. pullus<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    . Analyses of eye lenses also yielded evidence of trophic breadth contraction around size\u2010at\u2010maturity of all three species, coincident with apparent differentiation of adult resource use between sampled carnivores. Finally, in addition to high\u2010resolution assessments of trophic ontogeny, we provide analytic considerations that may strengthen use of eye lenses for investigation of fish life history, particularly through examination of calibration assumptions in a novel system.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.73921","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,10]],"date-time":"2026-07-10T01:59:42Z","timestamp":1783648782000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Stable Isotopes in Eye Lenses Record Patterns and Variation in Resource\u2010Use Ontogeny of Three New Zealand Kelp Forest Fishes"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1567-4385","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joseph S.","family":"Curtis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Science University of Otago  Dunedin Otago New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gretchen J.","family":"McCarthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Science University of Otago  Dunedin Otago New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leonardo M.","family":"Durante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Science University of Otago  Dunedin Otago New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas M.","family":"Chapple","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Science University of Otago  Dunedin Otago New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophie F.","family":"Whittall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Science University of Otago  Dunedin Otago New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter W.","family":"Dillingham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Otago  Dunedin Otago New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen R.","family":"Wing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Science University of Otago  Dunedin Otago New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01857239"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3354\/meps09871"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00227-016-2893-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/maec.12273"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.marenvres.2024.106517"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00288330.2012.751037"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/2041-210X.13543"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02294361"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Brady M.
