Applying stable isotopes to examine food-web structure: an overview of analytical tools.
Stable isotope analysis has emerged as one of the primary means for examining the structure and dynamics of food webs, and numerous analytical approaches are now commonly used in the field. Techniques range from simple, qualitative inferences based on the isotopic niche, to Bayesian mixing models that can be used to characterize food-web structure at multiple hierarchical levels. We provide a c...
متن کاملUse of stable isotopes to examine how dietary restriction extends Drosophila lifespan
Concluding remarks Before swallowing, everything a mammal samples orally will undergo a chemical analysis provided in large part by the gustatory system. What an animal ingests both in the short-term and over a lifetime has undeniable consequences on survival. So critical are taste sensations to the recognition and enjoyment of foods, and the appropriate digestion and utilization of nutrients, ...
متن کاملTrophic positioning of meiofauna revealed by stable isotopes and food web analyses.
Despite important advances in the ecology of river food webs, the strength and nature of the connection between the meio- and macrofaunal components of the web are still debated. Some unresolved issues are the effects of the inclusion of meiofaunal links and their temporal variations on the overall river food web properties, and the significance of autochthonous and allochthonous material for t...

متن کاملan overview to the structure and function of nuclear matrix
although the genome is defined by its primary sequence, its functional properties, are determined by far more complex mechanisms and depend on multiple layers of nuclear organization. the architecture of the nucleus includes two overlapping structures: the chromatin and a framework structure named the nuclear matrix. ultra-structural studies reveal that the nuclear matrix is a network consistin...
