Using bioenergetics models to predict stable isotope ratios in fishes
To describe temporal dynamics of stable isotope ratios in fishes, we developed a bioenergetics-based model that links isotope ratios to growth, as influenced by fish size, temperature, diet, and prey quality. The model includes error terms for isotope ratios, diet proportions, and fractionation. The model accurately predicted temporal δ15N dynamics of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in a diet...
متن کاملStable δ15N and δ13C isotope ratios in aquatic ecosystems
In the past 20 years, rapid progress in stable isotope (SI) studies has allowed scientists to observe natural ecosystems from entirely new perspectives. This report addresses the fundamental concepts underlying the use of the SI ratio. The unique characteristics of the SI ratio make it an interdisciplinary parameter that acts as a chemical fingerprint of biogenic substances and provides a key t...
متن کاملStable isotope analysis of white paints and likelihood ratios.
Architectural paints are commonly found as trace evidence at scenes of crime. Currently the most widely used technique for the analysis of architectural paints is Fourier Transformed Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR). There are, however, limitations to the forensic analysis of white paints, and the ability to discriminate between samples. Isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) has been investigated...
متن کاملContinental-Scale Distributions of Vegetation Stable Carbon Isotope Ratios
All terrestrial higher plants preferentially assimilate CO 2 relative to CO 2 during photosynthesis as a result of physical and biological isotope fractionation processes, with much larger overall C fractionation by plants using the C 3 photosynthetic pathway (approximate range of 14–27‰) compared to plants using the C 4 pathway (approximate range of 3–6‰). Fractionation against CO 2 in both C ...
متن کاملStable Isotope Ratios in Hair and Teeth Reflect Biologic Rhythms
Biologic rhythms give insight into normal physiology and disease. They can be used as biomarkers for neuronal degenerations. We present a diverse data set to show that hair and teeth contain an extended record of biologic rhythms, and that analysis of these tissues could yield signals of neurodegenerations. We examined hair from mummified humans from South America, extinct mammals and modern an...
