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 ...

Empirical food webs of 12 tropical reservoirs in Singapore [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022 Food webs summarise trophic interactions of the biotic components within an ecosystem, which can influence nutrient dynamics and energy flows, ultimately affecting ecosystem functions and services.

Stable Isotope Analysis of Greenhouse Gases Requires Analyte Preconcentration
CHIMIA, 2022 Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important trace gas contributing to global warming and depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. Its increasing abundance is caused mainly by anthropogenic sources, such as application of fertilizers in agriculture or emissions ...

Discrimination factors of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in meerkat feces [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Stable isotope analysis of feces can provide a non-invasive method for tracking the dietary habits of nearly any mammalian species. While fecal samples are often collected for macroscopic and genetic study, stable isotope analysis can also be applied to ...
