Using Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopes to Evaluate Parrotfish Diet

open access: yesAnnals of Tropical Research, 2013
With limited inconclusive data provided by gut content analysis, stable isotope analysis has recently emerged to validate trophic position and dietary intake. In this study, a dual isotope approach was used to reveal parrotfish feeding.

Reconstructing Seasonal and Baseline Nitrogen Isotope Ratios in Riverine Particulate Matter Using Freshwater Mussel Shells

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
We present a timeline of the carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen stable isotope compositions of 10 unionid mussel shells across three species–Threeridge (Amblema plicata), Ebonyshell (Reginaia ebenus), and Pimpleback (Cyclonaias pustulosa)—collected live in ...

Using stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon to study seabird ecology: applications in the Mediterranean seabird community

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2003
The application of the stable isotope technique to ecological studies is becoming increasingly widespread. In the case of seabirds, stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon have been mainly used as dietary tracers. This approach relieson the fact that food

Long-term carbon and nitrogen dynamics at SPRUCE revealed through stable isotopes in peat profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Peatlands encode information about past vegetation dynamics, climate, and microbial processes. Here, we used δ15N and δ13C patterns from 16 peat profiles to deduce how the biogeochemistry of the Marcell S1 forested bog in northern Minnesota responded to ...

Freezing and chemical preservatives alter the stable isotope values of carbon and nitrogen of the Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We tested the impacts of most common sample preservation methods used for aquatic sample materials on the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in clams, a typical baseline indicator organism for many aquatic food web studies utilising stable ...

Different Responses in Root Water Uptake of Summer Maize to Planting Density and Nitrogen Fertilization

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Modifying farming practices combined with breeding has the potential to improve water and nutrient use efficiency by regulating root growth, but achieving this goal requires phenotyping the roots, including their architecture and ability to take up water

Isotopic discrimination factors and nitrogen turnover rates in reared Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae (Thunnus thynnus): effects of maternal transmission

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2016
The use of stable isotope analysis to study animal diets requires estimates of isotopic turnover rates (half time, t50) and discrimination factors (Δ) for an accurate interpretation of trophic patterns.
