Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has proven to be a useful tool in reconstructing diets,
characterizing trophic relationships, elucidating patterns of resource allocation, and …

Summary 1 The use of stable isotopic techniques to study animal diets and trophic levels
requires a priori estimates of discrimination factors (Δ13C and Δ15N, also called …

Within an organism, lipids are depleted in 13 C relative to proteins and carbohydrates (more
negative δ 13 C), and variation in lipid content among organisms or among tissue types has …

Global microplastic (MP) pollution is a serious environmental problem that has been found
in various ecosystems, especially marine ecosystems. In this study, the water (surface …

1. Lipids have more negative δⁱ³C values relative to other major biochemical compounds in
plant and animal tissues. Although variable lipid content in biological tissues alters results …

The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

This paper reviews the ultrastructure and chemistry of fish bone, with an emphasis on
zooarchaeology and stable isotope analysis. On the basis of the chemical composition of the …

Stable‐isotope analysis (SIA) can act as a powerful ecological tracer with which to examine
diet, trophic position and movement, as well as more complex questions pertaining to …

Scientists concerned with organic matter flow and food web structures in aquatic systems
have increasingly realized the potential for using stable isotopes as both natural tracers and …

To better predict ecological consequences of changing Arctic sea ice environments, we
aimed to quantify the contribution of ice algae‐produced carbon (αIce) to pelagic food webs …
