Food webs in forest and pasture streams in the Waikato region, New Zealand: A study based on analyses of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, and fish gut contents [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 1997 Stable isotopes of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) were studied in 11 stream communities in the Waikato region of New Zealand. From comparisons of mean d13C and d15N values, food webs in the shaded, forest streams were clearly based on allochthonous material

Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotopic Discrimination Factors Between Diet and Feces in Wild Giant Pandas [PDF]
BiologyStable isotope analysis is very useful for studying animal nutritional ecology. Feces are the most accessible and non-invasive samples for short-term dietary reconstruction.

Research Progress on Spatiotemporal Distribution Characteristics of Carbon Stable Isotopes in Wines from New and Old World Countries [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 With the continuous development of economic globalization, the production and consumption of wine in New and Old World countries have shown a steady growth trend. Wines of different grades and styles have been developed, which are related to geographical

Degradation changes stable carbon isotope depth profiles in palsa peatlands [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Palsa peatlands are a significant carbon pool in the global carbon cycle and are projected to change by global warming due to accelerated permafrost thaw. Our aim was to use stable carbon isotopes as indicators of palsa degradation.

Isotopic Fingerprinting: A Promising Tool for Coffee Authenticity Checks
Proceedings, 2023 Almost every physical or chemical process in nature favors certain light stable isotopes over others, and thereby leaves an isotopic “fingerprint” on the substances involved.

Sedimentary pyrite sulfur isotopes track the local dynamics of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone
Nature Communications, 2021 To explore the importance of local vs. global sulfur-cycle controls on variations in pyrite sulfur isotopes, the authors couple carbon-nitrogen-sulfur concentrations and stable isotopes of sediments from the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone, identifying a ...

Ecosphere, 2021 Tracing the flow of dietary energy sources, especially in systems with a high degree of omnivory, is an ongoing challenge in ecology. In aquatic systems, one of the persistent challenges is in differentiating between autochthonous and allochthonous ...

Zanadamu: An African hominin isotopic dataset
Data in Brief, 2023 The present article introduces Zanadamu, a comprehensive geo-temporal-referenced dataset that amalgamates all published stable isotope carbon and oxygen measurements on tooth enamel from African hominins, dated between 4.4 and 0.005 Ma.
