Marine ecology encompasses the study of complex interactions among organisms and their environment in the world’s oceans. Central to advancing this field has been the adoption of stable isotope ...

Archaeologists at UC Santa Cruz used predictive modeling to map strontium isotope ratios across all of modern-day Angola, a region in Southwest Africa that was once a major hub for the transatlantic ...

Over 100 species of wild migratory birds, particularly ducks, swans, geese and various wading birds, harbour avian influenza (AI) viruses. Infections are transmitted amongst the wild birds by shedding ...

The researchers’ forensic tool uses stable isotope analysis to identify the carbon and nitrogen values that reflect the differences in the diets of birds raised in captivity and those from the wild.

Isotopic analysis primarily involves the separation of isotopes based on the significant differences in mass. The method is effective for identifying the isotopic signature within the inorganic and ...

Japanese scientists using an improved method of analysis recently identified a third set of remains as likely those of an American service member who fought on Okinawa during World War II. The ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Tools to study seasonal changes in animal diets are needed to address a wide range of ecological questions. This is especially true of ...

The use of stable isotope techniques in nutrition had started in the early 1900s but their continued utilization until present is limited to a very few groups globally in nutrition research. To expand ...
