Tooth enamel nitrogen isotope composition records trophic position: a tool for reconstructing food webs

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Enamel-bound nitrogen isotopes in modern and fossil mammal teeth preserve dietary and trophic level information. This novel geochemical archive can be used to reconstruct trophic niche in ancient ecosystems.

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 ...

Provenance does matter: links between winter trophic segregation and the migratory origins of European robins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Amongst migratory species, it is common to find individuals from different populations or geographical origins sharing staging or wintering areas.

Zinc Isotope Ratios as Indicators of Diet and Trophic Level in Arctic Marine Mammals.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of bone collagen are an established method for dietary reconstruction, but this method is limited by the protein preservation.

Nitrogen isotope discrimination in open-pollinated and hybrid canola suggests indirect selection for enhanced ammonium utilization

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Nitrogen isotope discrimination (Δ15N) may have utility as an indicator of nitrogen use in plants. A simple Δ15N-based isotope mass balance (IMB) model has been proposed to provide estimates of efflux/influx (E/I) ratios across root plasma membranes, the

The transition zone as a host for recycled volatiles: Evidence from nitrogen and carbon isotopes in ultra-deep diamonds from Monastery and Jagersfontein (South Africa) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Sublithospheric (ultra-deep) diamonds provide a unique window into the deepest parts of Earth's mantle, which otherwise remain inaccessible. Here, we report the first combined C- and N-isotopic data for diamonds from the Monastery and Jagersfontein ...

Use of stable nitrogen isotopes to track plant uptake of nitrogen in a nature-based treatment system

open access: yesWater Research X, 2020
In nature-based treatment systems, such as constructed wetlands, plant uptake of nutrients can be a significant removal pathway. Current methods for quantifying plant uptake of nitrogen in constructed wetlands, which often involve harvesting biomass and ...

Seasonal Trophic Dynamics of Sinking Particles in the Ulleung Basin of the East Sea (Japan Sea): An Approach Employing Nitrogen Isotopes of Amino Acids

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
To identify the sources of organic matter, we examined nitrogen isotopes of the amino acids of sinking particles collected from July 2017 to March 2018 at 1000 and 2250 m in the Ulleung Basin, the southwestern part of the East Sea (Japan Sea).

Silicon isotopes as a tracer for silicate utilization in the Peruvian upwelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
EGU2011-6081 Natural stable isotopes are a powerful tool in marine sciences to investigate biological processes, such as present and past nutrient utilization.

When maize is not the first choice: advances in paleodietary studies in the Archaeological Site Río Doncellas (Jujuy, Argentina) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this work we present new values of stable isotopes of carbon (δ13Cco and δ13Cap) and nitrogen (δ15N) measured in a sample of 13 human individuals found in the Río Doncellas Archaeological Site (Late Period or Regional Developments, ca. 1000 AD-1450 AD)
