Tissue-carbon incorporation rates in lizards: implications for ecological studies using stable isotopes in terrestrial ectotherms.
Carbon stable isotope (delta(13)C) analysis can be used to infer the origin and to estimate the flow of nutrient resources through animals and across ecological compartments. These applications require knowledge of the rates at which carbon is incorporated into animal tissues and diet-to-tissue discrimination factors (Delta(13)C). Studies of carbon dynamics in terrestrial vertebrates to date ha...
متن کاملSHORT COMMUNICATION Understanding diel-vertical feeding migrations in zooplankton using bulk carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes
We used bulk stable isotope analysis (SIA) to examine diel feeding activity in two vertically migrating krill species, Thysanoessa gregaria and Euphausia similis, off eastern Australia. SIA indicated feeding by both species above the thermocline at night, potentially on both particulate organic matter and microzooplankton. Our results support the use of SIA to investigate vertical migration and...

متن کاملPrimary consumer stable nitrogen isotopes as indicators of nutrient source.
Non-point source loading of nitrogen and phosphorus is a primary cause of eutrophication of inland waters, although the diffuse and variable nature of nutrient inputs makes it difficult to trace and identify nutrient pathways. Stable nitrogen isotope values (delta15N) in aquatic biota are thought to reflect anthropogenic nutrient inputs, and they may be a promising tool fortracing nutrient sour...
متن کاملEnzymic Fractionation of the Stable Carbon Isotopes of Carbon Dioxide by Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase.
The enzymic fractionation of the stable carbon isotopes of CO(2) (Deltaco(2)) was determined using a purified preparation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase isolated from cotton (a C(3) plant) leaves. The bicarbonate concentration in the reaction mixture saturated the enzyme and furnished an infinite pool of (12)CO(2) and (13)CO(2) for enzyme fractionation. The RuBP was 96 to 98% p...
