Parasite-induced changes in nitrogen isotope signatures of host tissues.
To estimate isotopic changes caused by trematode parasites within a host, we investigated changes in the carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis infected by trematode larvae. We measured carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes within the foot, gonad, and hepatopancreas of both infected and uninfected snails. There was no significant difference in the delta13C an...
متن کاملI. M. S. Promotion 30 Years Ago
agitation which followed the redaction of several administrative appointments in the I. M. S. in 1880, and the indignation caused among the senior officers by some of the promotions which followed thereon. The amalgamation of the military medical administration of the A. M. D. and of the I. M. S. in India, which had previously been carried on by a double set of officers, one from each service, ...
متن کاملStatistical clumped isotope signatures
High precision measurements of molecules containing more than one heavy isotope may provide novel constraints on element cycles in nature. These so-called clumped isotope signatures are reported relative to the random (stochastic) distribution of heavy isotopes over all available isotopocules of a molecule, which is the conventional reference. When multiple indistinguishable atoms of the same e...
متن کاملThe effect of water velocity on stable carbon and nitrogen isotope signatures of periphyton
Water movement affects carbon and nitrogen isotopic signatures of algae, possibly through effects on boundarylayer thickness. We describe a laboratory experiment carried out in artificial streams, which supports this hypothesis. Periphyton d13C and d15N signatures were significantly depleted in 13C and 15N when grown at higher water velocity over the range of 5–62 cm s21, the normal range found...
متن کاملNitrogen-stable isotope signatures in estuarine food webs: A record of increasing urbanization in coastal watersheds
Nutrient enrichment as a result of anthropogenic activity concentrated along the land-sea margin is increasing eutrophication of near-shore waters across the globe. Management of eutrophication in the coastal zone has been ’ hampered by the lack of a direct method to trace nitrogen sources from land into coastal food webs. Stable isotope data from a series of estuaries receiving nitrogen loads ...
