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.

Stable isotope analysis provides new information on winter habitat use of declining avian migrants that is relevant to their conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Winter habitat use and the magnitude of migratory connectivity are important parameters when assessing drivers of the marked declines in avian migrants. Such information is unavailable for most species.

Measurement of proton-distribution radii of neutron-rich nitrogen isotopes [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
Measurement of root-mean-square radii of proton distributions of 17–22N from charge-changing cross section shows the emergence of thick neutron skin towards the neutron-drip line.

Stable Isotopes Unveil Dietary Trends in the Samnite and Peligni Communities of Opi Val Fondillo and Sulmona S. Lucia (V–VI Centuries BCE, Abruzzo, Central Italy)

open access: yesBiology, 2023
The purpose of this study is to gain insights into the subsistence activities and nutrition of the Samnite and Peligni populations who lived in the Abruzzo region (Italy) during the Iron Age. The samples under investigation are from Opi Val Fondillo (AQ)

Different Responses in Root Water Uptake of Summer Maize to Planting Density and Nitrogen Fertilization

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Modifying farming practices combined with breeding has the potential to improve water and nutrient use efficiency by regulating root growth, but achieving this goal requires phenotyping the roots, including their architecture and ability to take up water

Dual stable isotope abundances unravel trophic position of estuarine nematodes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
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.

The fate of nitrogen in the Zarin-Gol River receiving trout farm effluent

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
This study investigated the Zarrin-Gol River ecosystem in Iran to trace organic matter in the food web and evaluate the impact of aquaculture farm effluent using stable isotopes of nitrogen (δ15N) and carbon (δ13C).

Determining trophic niche width: a novel approach using stable isotope analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
1. Although conceptually robust, it has proven difficult to find practical measures of niche width that are simple to obtain, yet provide an adequate descriptor of the ecological position of the population examined. 2.

Nitrogen isotope variations in the Solar System [PDF]

open access: yesNature Geoscience, 2015
The solar wind, cometary ices, and inner Solar System bodies exhibit distinct nitrogen isotopic compositions. A synthesis of these analyses suggests that these distinct reservoirs may be the result of early fractionation processes.

Marine sediment nitrogen isotopes and their implications for the nitrogen cycle in the sulfate-methane transition zone

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionRecent work has proposed that the nitrogen isotopes in marine sediments can be impacted by anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), since nitrogen uptake by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) modifies the nitrogen isotope compositions of ...
