Stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N) of soil nematodes from four feeding groups [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Soil nematode feeding groups are a long-established trophic categorisation largely based on morphology and are used in ecological indices to monitor and analyse the biological state of soils.

Isotopic Fingerprinting: A Promising Tool for Coffee Authenticity Checks
Proceedings, 2023 Almost every physical or chemical process in nature favors certain light stable isotopes over others, and thereby leaves an isotopic “fingerprint” on the substances involved.

Intracellular carbon storage by microorganisms is an overlooked pathway of biomass growth
Nature Communications, 2023 The concept of biomass growth is central to microbial carbon (C) cycling and ecosystem nutrient turnover. Microbial biomass is usually assumed to grow by cellular replication, despite microorganisms’ capacity to increase biomass by synthesizing storage ...

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020 Stable isotope analysis offers a unique tool for comparing trophic interactions and food web architecture in ecosystems based on analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbon (13C/12C) and nitrogen (15N/14N) in organisms.

Aberrant water homeostasis detected by stable isotope analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 While isotopes are frequently used as tracers in investigations of disease physiology (i.e., 14C labeled glucose), few studies have examined the impact that disease, and disease-related alterations in metabolism, may have on stable isotope ratios at ...

Stable isotopes in monitoring terrestrial arthropods
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Monitoring of arthropods focuses typically on changes in population and range size over time. Yet, there are a myriad of other aspects that could and should be monitored under the ongoing global and local environmental change.

Stable Isotope Analysis of Water [PDF]
, 2021 The analysis of stable isotope ratios of hydrogen and oxygen in water can be applied in many research fields. This thesis starts, after some general information about the stable isotopes of water with introducing our measurement techniques. We utilized a laser-based, optical method, which has profound advantages compared to the traditional analysis ...

Applications of stable isotope analysis in mammalian ecology [PDF]
Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies, 2014 In this editorial, we provide a brief introduction and summarize the 10 research articles included in this Special Issue on Applications of stable isotope analysis in mammalian ecology. The first three articles report correction and discrimination factors that can be used to more accurately estimate the diets of extinct and extant mammals using stable ...
