Stable Isotope Sourcing Using Sampling
Stable isotope mixing models are used to estimate proportional contributions of sources to a mixture, such as in the analysis of animal diets, plant nutrient use, geochemistry, pollution, and forensics. We describe an algorithm implemented as SISUS software for providing a user-specified number of probabilistic exact solutions derived quickly from the extended mixing model. Our method outperfor...

متن کاملPredation selectively culls medium-sized species from island mammal faunas
Globally, elevated extinction risk in mammals is strongly associated with large body size. However, in regions where introduced predators exert strong topdown pressure on mammal populations, the selectivity of extinctions may be skewed towards species of intermediate body size, leading to a humpshaped relationship between size and extinction risk. The existence of this kind of extinction patter...
متن کاملLapita Diet in Remote Oceania: New Stable Isotope Evidence from the 3000-Year-Old Teouma Site, Efate Island, Vanuatu
Remote Oceania was colonized ca. 3000 BP by populations associated with the Lapita Cultural Complex, marking a major event in the prehistoric settlement of the Pacific Islands. Although over 250 Lapita sites have been found throughout the Western Pacific, human remains associated with Lapita period sites are rare. The site of Teouma, on Efate Island, Vanuatu has yielded the largest burial assem...
متن کاملDifferential recovery of Pacific Island fish remains
The effects of differential recovery have been documented and discussed for almost a century. Screening experiments using comparative collections are one avenue for understanding recovery bias because they develop expectations about what is likely to be recovered. In this study, modern reference specimens of Pacific Island fish were screened through 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) and 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) mesh....
