Strontium isotopes delineate fine-scale natal origins and migration histories of Pacific salmon. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2015 Strontium isotopes simultaneously delineate fine-scale natal habitats and migrations of Pacific salmon harvested during a coastal commercial fishery. Highly migratory organisms present major challenges to conservation efforts. This is especially true for

Unravelling biocultural population structure in 4th/3rd century BC Monterenzio Vecchio (Bologna, Italy) through a comparative analysis of strontium isotopes, non-metric dental evidence, and funerary practices. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The 4th century BC marks the main entrance of Celtic populations in northern Italy. Their arrival has been suggested based on the presence of Celtic customs in Etruscan mortuary contexts, yet up to now few bioarchaeological data have been examined to ...

Recent developments and trends in the application of strontium and its isotopes in biological related fields [PDF]
TrAC - Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 2017 Strontium is a chemical element without biological functions in humans. In fact, only two biological roles are known, both as a biomineral constituent.

Reconstructing Pleistocene Australian herbivore megafauna diet using calcium and strontium isotopes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Isotopes in fossil tooth enamel provide robust tools for reconstructing food webs, which have been understudied in Australian megafauna. To delineate the isotopic composition of primary consumers and understand dietary behaviour at the base of the food ...

Strontium isotopes as an indicator of human migration – easy questions, difficult answers
Anthropological Review, 2015 Isotope analyses of bones and teeth allow us to study phenomena which occurred in the history of human species and which are difficult to capture by traditional anthropological methods. Measuring oxygen, nitrogen and carbon isotope levels in the skeleton

Strontium isotopes and the reconstruction of the Chaco regional system: evaluating uncertainty with Bayesian mixing models. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 Strontium isotope sourcing has become a common and useful method for assigning sources to archaeological artifacts. In Chaco Canyon, an Ancestral Pueblo regional center in New Mexico, previous studies using these methods have suggested that significant ...

Strontium Isotopes Support Small Home Ranges for Extinct Lemurs
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Among mammals, including anthropoid primates, the primary factors that affect mobility are body size (larger-bodied species move more than smaller ones), diet (frugivores and trophic omnivores are more mobile than folivores), and habit (terrestrial taxa ...
