Effects of euthanasia method on stable-carbon and stable-nitrogen isotope analysis for an ectothermic vertebrate.
RATIONALE Stable isotope analysis is a critical tool for understanding ecological food webs; however, results can be sensitive to sample preparation methods. To limit the possibility of sample contamination, freezing is commonly used to euthanize invertebrates and preserve non-lethal samples from vertebrates. For destructive sampling of vertebrates, more humane euthanasia methods are preferred ...
متن کاملCarbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of three types of oyster tissue in an impacted estuary
The stable isotope ratios of carbon (dC) and nitrogen (dN) of the muscle, ctenidia and viscera of the Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata, showed the dilution and assimilation of tertiary treated sewage along an estuarine gradient. The enriched N values of oyster ctenidia and viscera from within 50 m of the sewage outfall indicated the use of N-enriched tertiary treated sewage effluent (16...
متن کاملGrowth versus metabolic tissue replacement in mouse tissues determined by stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis
Stable-isotope signatures in animal tissues presumably reflect the local food web. However, that assumption may be complicated by differential nutrient routing, fractionation, and the possibility that large organisms are not in isotopic equilibrium with seasonally available food sources. Additionally, the rate at which organisms incorporate the isotopic signature of a food is largely unknown. I...
متن کاملStable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of TNT: two-dimensional source identification.
Data from a combination of laboratory and fieldwork is presented to initiate testing of stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios to trace sources of TNT in contaminated soil and groundwater. Evaluation of these extraction methods resulted in 99.9 and 99.8% recovery of TNT with Soxhlet and solid-phase extraction (SPE), respectively. As a result of the high extraction efficiency, isotope fractio...
متن کاملStable isotope ratios of marijuana. I. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes describe growth conditions.
There remains significant uncertainty in illicit marijuana cultivation. We analyzed the delta(13)C and delta(15)N of 508 domestic samples from known U.S.A. counties, 31 seized from a single location, 5 samples grown in Mexico and Colombia, and 10 northwest border seizures. For a subset, inflorescences and leaves were analyzed separately. These data revealed a strong correspondence, with inflore...
