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 ...

Seabird Modulations of Isotopic Nitrogen on Islands

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The transport of nutrients by migratory animals across ecosystem boundaries can significantly enrich recipient food webs, thereby shaping the ecosystems' structure and function. To illustrate the potential role of islands in enabling the transfer of matter across ecosystem boundaries to be gauged, we investigated the influence of seabirds on nitrogen ...

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 Isotopes in Deep Time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for life, and its sources and cycling have varied over earth history. Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen compounds (expressed as δ15N, in ‰) are preserved in the sedimentary record and track these changes, providing important insights into associated biogeochemical feedbacks.

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.

Joint control of precipitation and CO2 on global long-term patterns of plant nitrogen availability

open access: yesNature Communications
Plant nitrogen availability critically limits plant growth and thus constrains terrestrial carbon sequestration. Growing evidence points to a recent decline in plant nitrogen availability, yet the global consistency of this trend and its underlying ...

Ontogenetic δ15N Trends and Multidecadal Variability in Shells of the Bivalve Mollusk, Arctica islandica

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Bulk stable nitrogen isotope values of the carbonate-bound organic matrix in bivalve shells (δ15NCBOM) are increasingly used to assess past food web dynamics, track anthropogenic nitrogen pollution and reconstruct hydrographic changes.

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.

Cell‐cycle‐specific lesion evolution rather than inhibition of double‐strand‐break repair underpins cisplatin radiosensitization

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...
