Do oxygen isotope values in collagen reflect the ecology and physiology of neotropical mammals?

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Stable isotope data provide insight into the foraging ecology of animals. Traditionally, carbon and nitrogen isotope values have been used to infer dietary and habitat preferences.

Tracing water sources of terrestrial animal populations with stable isotopes: laboratory tests with crickets and spiders. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Fluxes of carbon, nitrogen, and water between ecosystem components and organisms have great impacts across levels of biological organization. Although much progress has been made in tracing carbon and nitrogen, difficulty remains in tracing water sources

Application of Nitrogen and Oxygen Isotopes for Source and Fate Identification of Nitrate Pollution in Surface Water: A Review

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Nitrate pollution in surface water has become an environmental problem of global concern. The effective way for controlling the nitrate pollution of surface water is to identify the pollution source and reduce the input of nitrate.

Stable and radiogenic isotopes as tracers for soil degradation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Soil erosion seriously threatens mountain slopes. Direct measurement of soil erosion in the field is difficult and needs long term recording. However, stable and radiogenic isotopes are potential tracers for soil erosion estimation and would enable a ...

Radiocarbon reservoir effects in human bone collagen from northern Iceland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Human bone collagen from a series of Icelandic human pagan graves was radiocarbon (14C) dated to aid understanding of early settlement (landnám) chronologies in northern Iceland. These individuals potentially consumed marine protein.

Trophic interactions of meso- and macrozooplankton and fish in the Iceland Sea as evaluated by fatty acid and stable isotope analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A trophic study was carried out in August of 2007 and 2008 on the pelagic ecosystem in the Subarctic Iceland Sea. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes and fatty acid biomarkers were used to study trophic linkages and the trophic ecology of the most ...
