Stable isotope ratios vary among food webs and are incorporated into an animal's tissue via its diet (Hobson 1999). It is thus sometimes possible to infer the whereabouts of an animal moving ...

Stable isotope analysis of elements such as carbon, nitrogen and sulphur is used in ecology to trace the flow of nutrients through food webs and assess trophic levels. In the Bolivian Amazon ...

However, about 1 % of the carbon in the Earth’s biosphere has 6 protons and 7 neutrons (13C) forming the heavy stable isotope of this important element. Stable isotopes do not decay into other ...

Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of atoms. Although they do not emit radiation, their unique properties enable them to be used in a broad variety of applications, including water and soil ...

The Stable Isotope Core Laboratory housed at the CNRC is comprised of the The Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry Laboratory and the Gas/Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Laboratory. This ...

The CUBES-SIL lab has three magnetic sector, gas-source, isotope ratio mass spectrometers designed to measure the relative abundance of stable isotopes of light elements and molecules ... planetary ...

The study, featured on the Dec. 4 cover of the journal Science Advances, used stable isotope analysis to model the diet of the mother of an infant discovered at a 13,000-year-old Clovis burial ...

Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites produced by mold that may be found in food or feed. They can cause severe health problems in humans ... Standard addition, matrix matching, and stable ...
