Carbon stable isotope turnover and fractionation in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella tissues
Carbon stable isotope signatures can effectively trace food sources, elucidate trophic interactions, and presumably reflect food web structure. The present study conducted a diet-switch experiment using freshwater teleost grass carp Ctenopharyngodon ...

Stable isotope values in modern bryozoan carbonate from New Zealand and implications for paleoenvironmental interpretation [PDF]
Bryozoan carbonate contains useful geochemical evidence of temperate shelf paleoenvironments. Stable isotope values were determined for 103 modern marine bryozoan skeletons representing 30 species from New Zealand. δ18O values range from -1.4 to 2.8 VPDB,

Assortative Mating By Diet In A Phenotypically Unimodal But Ecologically Variable Population Of Stickleback [PDF]
Speciation with gene flow may be driven by a combination of positive assortative mating and disruptive selection, particularly if selection and assortative mating act on the same trait, eliminating recombination between ecotype and mating type ...

A pilot study of stable isotope fractionation in Bombyx mori rearing
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen isotopes derived from three different strains of silkworms at different life stages involved in silkworm rearing, were measured to understand the fractionation characteristics of stable isotopes at different stages ...

Dual stable isotope abundances unravel trophic position of estuarine nematodes [PDF]
The role and quantitative importance of free-living nematodes in marine and estuarine soft sediments remain enigmatic for lack of empirical evidence on the feeding habits and trophic position of most nematode species.

Freezing and chemical preservatives alter the stable isotope values of carbon and nitrogen of the Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea) [PDF]
We tested the impacts of most common sample preservation methods used for aquatic sample materials on the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in clams, a typical baseline indicator organism for many aquatic food web studies utilising stable ...

The stable isotope of carbon and nitrogen (δ13C and δ15N) in marine sediments have received much attention as they can be used to trace the sources of organic matter and are helpful in understanding the carbon cycle, climate change and the transformation

Stable carbon isotopes and human evolution [PDF]
Paleoanthropologists have long relied on skull and tooth morphology to infer fossil hominin diets, but from the early 1980s, they have also looked to microscopic wear traces in dental enamel, and since the early 1990s, they have looked increasingly to the stable isotope composition of skeletal tissues.

Isotopes in hydrology and hydrogeology [PDF]
The structure, status, and processes of the groundwater system, which can only be acquired through scientific research efforts, are critical aspects of water resource management. Isotope hydrology and hydrogeology is a genuinely interdisciplinary science.
