The new field of primate archaeology investigates the technological behavior and material
record of nonhuman primates, providing valuable comparative data on our understanding of …

In this article, we use a multiproxy approach based on stable isotope analyses (δ 18 O and δ
13 C), mesowear, and microwear dental analysis to reconstruct the climate, diet, and habitat …

The diet of fossil herbivores inferred from enamel stable carbon isotopes is often used to
make paleoenvironmental reconstructions. While many studies have focused on using …

Nitrogen isotopes are widely used to study the trophic position of animals in modern food
webs; however, their application in the fossil record is severely limited by degradation of …

The analysis of the nitrogen (N) isotopic composition of organic matter bound to fossil
biomineral structures (BB‐δ15N) using the oxidation–denitrifier (O–D) method provides a …

Southern Africa is characterized by the development of varied Middle and Later Stone Age
techno-complexes and behaviors against a backdrop of complex climatic conditions during …

The study of spatial (paleo) ecology in mammals is critical to understand how animals adapt
to and exploit their environment. In this work we analysed the 87Sr/86Sr, δ18O and δ13C …

The nitrogen isotopic composition (15N/14N ratio, or δ15N) of enameloid‐bound organic
matter (δ15NEB) in shark teeth was recently developed to investigate the biogeochemistry …

Humans have dramatically transformed ecosystems over the previous millennia and are
potentially causing a mass extinction event comparable to the others that shaped the history …

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique widely employed for isotopic
analysis and species identification in numerous research fields. Isotopic analysis involves …
