The spread of Homo sapiens into new habitats across Eurasia~ 45,000 years ago and the
concurrent disappearance of Neanderthals represents a critical evolutionary turnover in our …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Diet is a crucial trait of an animal's lifestyle and ecology. The trophic level of an organism
indicates its functional position within an ecosystem and holds significance for its ecology …

The characterization of Neandertals' diets has mostly relied on nitrogen isotope analyses of
bone and tooth collagen. However, few nitrogen isotope data have been recovered from …

The extensive chondrichthyan fossil record spans 400+ million years and has a global
distribution. Paleontological studies provide a foundation of description and taxonomy to …

Tam Pà Ling, a cave site in northeastern Laos, has yielded the earliest skeletal evidence of
Homo sapiens in mainland Southeast Asia. The reliance of Pleistocene humans in rainforest …

Trophic ecology and resource use are challenging to discern in migratory marine species,
including sharks. However, effective management and conservation strategies depend on …

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of collagen from bone and dentin have frequently
been used for dietary reconstruction, but this method is limited by protein preservation …

In marine ecology, dietary interpretations of faunal assemblages often rely on nitrogen
isotopes as the main or only applicable trophic level tracer. We investigate the geographic …

Copper, Zn and Pb isotope ratios are important tracers for understanding geological and
biological processes. We present optimised column separation methods using an anion …
