Bias of ostracod stable isotope data caused by drying of sieve residues from water [PDF]
, 2007 Stable isotope analysis of ostracod shells is used routinely for palaeoenvironmental studies of ostracod-bearing records. Sample treatment usually involves the disaggregation of sediments and sieving; before the sieving residues were washed with water ...

Stable isotope analysis provides new information on winter habitat use of declining avian migrants that is relevant to their conservation [PDF]
, 2012 Winter habitat use and the magnitude of migratory connectivity are important parameters when assessing drivers of the marked declines in avian migrants. Such information is unavailable for most species.

Escher-Trace: a web application for pathway-based visualization of stable isotope tracing data
BMC Bioinformatics, 2020 Background Stable isotope tracing has become an invaluable tool for probing the metabolism of biological systems. However, data analysis and visualization from metabolic tracing studies often involve multiple software packages and lack pathway ...

Degradation changes stable carbon isotope depth profiles in palsa peatlands [PDF]
, 2014 Palsa peatlands are a significant carbon pool in the global carbon cycle and are projected to change by global warming due to accelerated permafrost thaw. Our aim was to use stable carbon isotopes as indicators of palsa degradation.

Trophic structure in a seabird host-parasite food web: insights from stable isotope analyses [PDF]
, 2010 Ecological studies on food webs rarely include parasites, partly due to the complexity and dimensionality of host-parasite interaction networks. Multiple co-occurring parasites can show different feeding strategies and thus lead to complex and cryptic ...

Soil Properties Control Microbial Carbon Assimilation and Its Mean Residence Time
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 Microbial assimilation and stabilization of soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important process in global carbon cycling. For an improved understanding of climate-induced changes in ecosystem C dynamics, it is important to know the group-specific turnover ...

Bacterial metabolism of methylated amines and identification of novel methylotrophs in Movile Cave [PDF]
, 2015 Movile Cave, Romania, is an unusual underground ecosystem that has been sealed off from the outside world for several million years and is sustained by non-phototrophic carbon fixation. Methane and sulfur-oxidising bacteria are the main primary producers,

Carbon stable isotope analysis of cereal remains as a way to reconstruct water availability: preliminary results [PDF]
, 2011 Reconstructing past water availability, both as rainfall and irrigation, is important to answer questions about the way society reacts to climate and its changes and the role of irrigation in the development of social complexity.
