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]

open access: yesNew 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]

open access: yesBiology
Stable 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]

open access: yesShipin 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]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 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

open access: yesProceedings, 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

open access: yesNature 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 ...

Fatty acid stable isotopes add clarity, but also complexity, to tracing energy pathways in aquatic food webs

open access: yesEcosphere, 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 ...

Inter-Laboratory Comparison of Measuring Organic Carbon and Stable Nitrogen Isotopes in Marine Sediments by Elemental Analysis-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesYankuang ceshi, 2020
BACKGROUND Organic carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) in marine sediments are used as effective indicators to trace the changes of air, temperature, precipitation and other parameters in different geological time. Elemental analysis-isotope

Estimates of woody biomass and mixed effects improve isoscape predictions across a northern mixed forest

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Contemporary methods used to predict isotopic variation at regional scales have yet to include underlying distributions of the abundance of isotopic substrates.

Zanadamu: An African hominin isotopic dataset

open access: yesData 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.
