Many freshwater systems receive substantial inputs of terrestrial organic matter. Terrestrially
derived dissolved organic carbon (t‐DOC) inputs can modify light availability, the spatial …

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of human and animal tissues have become an
important means of studying both anthropogenic and natural food webs in aquatic …

The stable isotopes of nitrogen (δ15N) and carbon (δ13C) provide powerful tools for
estimating the trophic positions of and carbon flow to consumers in food webs; however, the …

Stable isotope analysis is a well‐established tool for studying past human remains.
Applications have grown exponentially in the past 15 years, with studies focusing on living …

Water levels of lakes fluctuate naturally in response to climatic and hydrological forcing.
Human over-exploitation of water resources leads to increased annual and interannual …

Fish are an important source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) for birds, mammals and humans. In aquatic food webs, these highly unsaturated fatty …

Human and non-human faunal bone from the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age periods of Cis-
Baikal were analysed for stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in order to study regional …

Periphyton communities have received relatively little attention in lake ecosystems.
However, evidence is increasing that they play a key role in primary productivity, nutrient …

Isotope turnover in muscle of ectotherms depends primarily on growth rather than on
metabolic replacement. Ectotherms, such as fish, have a discontinuous pattern of growth …

Seasonal cycles of δ 13 C and δ 15 N in dissolved organic carbon and size-fractionated
plankton, ranging from bacteria to the jellyfish Aurelia aurita, were studied during a 1 yr cycle …
