Diet Segregation between Cohabiting Builder and Inquiline Termite Species
How do termite inquilines manage to cohabit termitaria along with the termite builder species? With this in mind, we analysed one of the several strategies that inquilines could use to circumvent conflicts with their hosts, namely, the use of distinct diets. We inspected overlapping patterns for the diets of several cohabiting Neotropical termite species, as inferred from carbon and nitrogen is...
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 کاملStable isotope ratios and forensic analysis of microorganisms.
In the aftermath of the anthrax letters of 2001, researchers have been exploring various analytical signatures for the purpose of characterizing the production environment of microorganisms. One such signature is stable isotope ratios, which in heterotrophs, are a function of nutrient and water sources. Here we discuss the use of stable isotope ratios in microbial forensics, using as a database...
متن کاملPatterns and controls of lotic algal stable carbon isotope ratios
Spatial and temporal variations in stable carbon isotope ratios (i.e., 813C) of primary producers are common but poorly understood features of isotopic characterizations of aquatic food webs. I investigated factors that control t13C of algae (concentration and 613C of inorganic carbon, algal fractionation, and growth rates) in riffle habitats across a gradient in stream size and productivity in...
