Small Tails Tell Tall Tales – Intra-Individual Variation in the Stable Isotope Values of Fish Fin
BACKGROUND Fish fin is a widely used, non-lethal sample material in studies using stable isotopes to assess the ecology of fishes. However, fish fin is composed of two distinct tissues (ray and membrane) which may have different stable isotope values and are not homogeneously distributed within a fin. As such, estimates of the stable isotope values of a fish may vary according to the section of...
متن کاملLabeling of Human Serum Albumin with Stable Isotope of Bromine; an in Vitro Study
Background: Possibility to trace-label albumin with isotopes results in information concerning its synthesis, breakdown, and distribution in the intra and extra cellular spaces. The iodination of albumin is a widespread procedure used in scientific studies. Bromine not only is more reactive and less expensive than iodine, but bonds more easily with many elements. Therefore, it could be a suitab...
متن کاملSlow isotope turnover rates and low discrimination values in the American alligator: implications for interpretation of ectotherm stable isotope data.
Stable isotope analysis has become a standard ecological tool for elucidating feeding relationships of organisms and determining food web structure and connectivity. There remain important questions concerning rates at which stable isotope values are incorporated into tissues (turnover rates) and the change in isotope value between a tissue and a food source (discrimination values). These gaps ...
متن کاملStable nitrogen isotope ratios of bone collagen reflect marine and terrestrial components of prehistoric human diet.
The delta 15N values of bone collagen from Eskimos and from Northwest Coast Indians dependent on salmon fishing are about 10 per mil more positive than those from agriculturalists in historic times. Among prehistoric humans, two groups dependent on marine food sources show bone collagen delta 15N values that are 4 to 6 per mil more positive than those from two agricultural groups. The nitrogen ...
متن کاملStable Isotope Analysis of Fossil Bone
The biological signal hidden in stable carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and strontium stable isotope ratios in archaeological and fossil skeletal finds give clues to a variety of palaeoecological parameters. In contrast to trace element analysis, these parameters can be assessed on the individual level, which is a major advantage for palaeoanthropology, where single finds prevail over multiple finds at...
