Carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios of urine and faeces as novel nutritional biomarkers of meat and fish intake [PDF]
, 2012 Purpose Meat and fish consumption are associated with changes in the risk of chronic diseases. Intake is mainly assessed using self-reporting, as no true quantitative nutritional biomarker is available.

Variação na composição isotópica do Cynoscion guatucupa no Oceano Atlântico Sul [PDF]
, 2017 The aim of this study was to analyze the isotopic composition in muscle of striped weakfish Cynoscion guatucupa from Southwest Atlantic Ocean in order to evaluate a possible variation in δ13C and δ15N in response to dietary shifts that occur as animals ...

A New foodweb based on microbes in calcitic caves: The Cansiliella (Beetles) case in Northern Italy [PDF]
International Journal of Speleology, 2011 The troglobitic beetle, Cansiliella servadeii (Leptodirini), has specialized mouthparts modified for browsing and feeding under percolating water on moonmilk, a speleothem formation in Grotta della Foos, Italy. Results from analyses of stable isotopes of

Using stable isotopes to follow excreta N dynamics and N2O emissions in animal production systems
Animal, 2013 Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas and the dominant anthropogenic stratospheric ozone-depleting emission. The tropospheric concentration of N2O continues to increase, with animal production systems constituting the largest anthropogenic ...

Quantifying carbon allocation to mycorrhizal fungi by temperate forest tree species across a nitrogen availability gradient [PDF]
, 2013 Terrestrial ecosystems make up the largest carbon pool with a major portion of that being forests. With carbon being a major concern due to global climate change, being able to make accurate models is increasingly important. Studies have shown that trees

Stable Nitrogen Isotopes in a Forested Watershed in Taiwan
Journal of Forest and Environmental Science, 2013 Abstract Differences in rates and patterns of nitrogen cycling have been correlated with nitrogen stable isotope measurements in forest ecosystems of tropical and temperate regions, but limited similar work has been conducted in sub-tropical forests. This study investigated patterns in stable N isotopic composition in a subtropical forest in Taiwan by ...

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