Zanadamu: An African hominin isotopic dataset
The present article introduces Zanadamu, a comprehensive geo-temporal-referenced dataset that amalgamates all published stable isotope carbon and oxygen measurements on tooth enamel from African hominins, dated between 4.4 and 0.005 Ma.

Seasonal Cyclicity in Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes of Modern Horse Enamel. [PDF]
The study of stable isotopes in fossil bioapatite has yielded useful results and has shown that bioapatites are able to faithfully record paleo-environmental and paleo-climatic parameters from archeological to geological timescales.

Carbon stable isotope turnover and fractionation in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella tissues
Carbon stable isotope signatures can effectively trace food sources, elucidate trophic interactions, and presumably reflect food web structure. The present study conducted a diet-switch experiment using freshwater teleost grass carp Ctenopharyngodon ...

Stable isotope values in modern bryozoan carbonate from New Zealand and implications for paleoenvironmental interpretation [PDF]
Bryozoan carbonate contains useful geochemical evidence of temperate shelf paleoenvironments. Stable isotope values were determined for 103 modern marine bryozoan skeletons representing 30 species from New Zealand. δ18O values range from -1.4 to 2.8 VPDB,

Photosynthetic Fractionation of the Stable Isotopes of Oxygen and Carbon [PDF]
Isotope discrimination during photosynthetic exchange of O2 and CO2 was measured using enzyme, thylakoid, and whole cell preparations. Evolved oxygen from isolated spinach thylakoids was isotopically identical (within analytical error) to its source water.

Determining trophic niche width: a novel approach using stable isotope analysis [PDF]
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.

Fractionation of the Stable Isotopes of Inorganic Carbon by Seagrasses [PDF]
The delta(13)C values for seagrasses collected along the Texas Gulf Coast range from -10.9 to -11.4 per thousand. These values are similar to the delta(13)C values of terrestrial C(4) plants, but seagrasses lack bundle sheath cells which are important in determining the delta(13)C values of C(4) plants.
