Dung from a mammoth was preserved under frozen conditions in Alaska. The mammoth
lived during the early part of the Late Glacial interstadial (ca 12,300 BP). Microfossils …

Intestinal samples from the one-month-old Siberian mammoth calf 'Lyuba'were studied using
light microscopy and ancient DNA to reconstruct its palaeo-environment and diet. The …

Mammalian species from hot and arid environments often have elevated nitrogen isotope
values compared to animals from similar trophic levels in more temperate climates. This …

Accurately predicting isotope ratio discrimination is central to using mixing models to
estimate assimilated diets of wild animals. This process is complicated when omnivores …

Objectives: Amazonian populations are experiencing dietary changes characteristic of the
nutrition transition. However, the degree of change appears to vary between urban and rural …

Red deer (Cervus elaphus) is a flexible species that survived the significant climatic and
environmental change toward warming temperature and forested landscape of the Late …

Abstract The Early Bronze Age barrows at Irthlingborough and Gayhurst in central England
are notable for the large number of cattle (Bos taurus) remains associated with their human …

Stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) was used as an analytical tool to verify the preslaughter
diet of beef cattle. Muscle and tail hair samples were collected from animals fed either …

The use of stable isotopes in diet analysis usually relies on the different photosynthetic
pathways of C3 and C4 plants, and the resulting difference in carbon isotope signature. In …

Aim We sought to quantify geographical variation in the stable isotope values of mouse
lemurs (Microcebus) and to determine whether this variation reflects trophic differences …
