A forensic approach to understanding habitat use from stable isotope analysis of (avian) claw material [PDF]
, 2003 1. The potential of using stable isotope signatures of avian claws in order to infer diet and habitat use was investigated. 2. Highly significant relationships observed between stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (<sup>13</sup>C, &

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 ...

The effectiveness of using carbonate isotope measurements of body tissues to infer diet in human evolution: Evidence from wild western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus)* [PDF]
, 2015 Changes in diet throughout hominin evolution have been linked with important evolutionary changes. Stable carbon isotope analysis of inorganic apatite carbonate is the main isotopic method used to reconstruct fossil hominin diets; to test its ...

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.

Multi stable isotope ratio analysis for the traceability of northern Italian apples
Food Chemistry: X, 2022 Isotope ratio mass spectrometry is a well-known technique used to trace the origin of agri-food products from different countries. Here this method was tested to trace the exact orchard of provenance of Italian apples harvested at sites close to each ...

An analytical system for stable isotope analysis on carbon monoxide using continuous-flow isotope-ratio mass spectrometry [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015 A fully automated system for the determination of δ13C and δ18O in atmospheric CO has been developed. CO is extracted from an air sample and converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) using the Schütze reagent.

Stable Carbon Isotope Ratio (δ13C) Measurement of Graphite Using EA-IRMS System
Medžiagotyra, 2015 δ13C values in non-irradiated natural graphite were measured. The measurements were carried out using an elemental analyzer combined with stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer (EA-IRMS). The samples were prepared with ground and non-ground graphite, the

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 ...
