Structure and flow of carbon and nitrogen to the western Irish Sea Nephrops norvegicus fishery: a stable isotope approach. [PDF]

, 2008
PhDStable isotope analysis was used to describe the structure and flow of organic matter (carbon and nitrogen) from primary production in the water column to the benthos, and into secondary production that supports a fishery for the lobster Nephrops ...

Inter-Laboratory Comparison of Measuring Organic Carbon and Stable Nitrogen Isotopes in Marine Sediments by Elemental Analysis-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry

Yankuang ceshi, 2020
BACKGROUND Organic carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) in marine sediments are used as effective indicators to trace the changes of air, temperature, precipitation and other parameters in different geological time. Elemental analysis-isotope

Dissolved Nitrogen Acquisition in the Symbioses of Soft and Hard Corals With Symbiodiniaceae: A Key to Understanding Their Different Nutritional Strategies?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Nitrogen is one of the limiting nutrients for coral growth and primary productivity. Therefore, the capacity of different associations between corals and their algal symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) to efficiently exploit the available nitrogen sources will ...

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope enrichment in primate tissues [PDF]

Oecologia, 2010
Isotopic studies of wild primates have used a wide range of tissues to infer diet and model the foraging ecologies of extinct species. The use of mismatched tissues for such comparisons can be problematic because differences in amino acid compositions can lead to small isotopic differences between tissues.

Sedimentary pyrite sulfur isotopes track the local dynamics of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone

Nature Communications, 2021
To explore the importance of local vs. global sulfur-cycle controls on variations in pyrite sulfur isotopes, the authors couple carbon-nitrogen-sulfur concentrations and stable isotopes of sediments from the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone, identifying a ...

Stable nitrogen isotopes in coastal macroalgae: Geographic and anthropogenic variability [PDF]

Science of The Total Environment, 2013
Growing human population adds to the natural nitrogen loads to coastal waters. Both anthropogenic and natural nitrogen is readily incorporated in new biomass, and these different nitrogen sources may be traced by the measurement of the ratio of stable nitrogen isotopes (δ(15)N).

A pilot study of stable isotope fractionation in Bombyx mori rearing

Scientific Reports, 2023
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen isotopes derived from three different strains of silkworms at different life stages involved in silkworm rearing, were measured to understand the fractionation characteristics of stable isotopes at different stages ...

Global data set for nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes of tunas [PDF]

Ecology, 2021
AbstractNitrogen and carbon stable isotope data sets are commonly used to assess complex population to ecosystem responses to natural or anthropogenic changes at regional to global spatial scales, and monthly to decadal timescales. Measured in the tissues of consumers, nitrogen isotopes (δ15N) are primarily used to estimate trophic position while ...

Conduits of contamination to contemporary food webs of the Norfolk Broads [PDF]

, 2011
PhDDuring the 1960s-1980s antifouling applications containing the organotin tributyltin (TBT) were applied to craft on the Norfolk Broads, leaving a legacy of contaminants in sediments.

Stable isotope analysis of carbon and nitrogen in angrites [PDF]

Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2013
AbstractAngrites are a small group of ancient basaltic achondrites, notable for their unusual chemistry and extreme volatile depletion. No comprehensive study of indigenous light elements currently exists for the group. Measurement of the abundances and isotopic composition of carbon and nitrogen could provide information pertaining to the evolution of
