Mass-Balance Models for Animal Isotopic Ecology
Analysis of natural stable isotope ratios has created a methodological upheaval in animal ecology. Because the distribution of stable isotopes in organisms follows reliable patterns, their analyses have become established useful methods for animal ecologists. However, because animal ecologists have adopted a phenomenological approach to the use of stable isotopes, the mechanisms that create iso...
متن کاملIsotopic ecology ten years after a call for more laboratory experiments.
About 10 years ago, reviews of the use of stable isotopes in animal ecology predicted explosive growth in this field and called for laboratory experiments to provide a mechanistic foundation to this growth. They identified four major areas of inquiry: (1) the dynamics of isotopic incorporation, (2) mixing models, (3) the problem of routing, and (4) trophic discrimination factors. Because these ...
متن کاملIsotopic exploration of hepatic hydrothorax: ten cases.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the performance of peritoneal scintigraphy for the diagnosis of peritoneopleural communication in patients with cirrhosis and to discuss its role in therapeutic management. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten patients with cirrhosis and pleural effusion were included in this study. Cirrhosis was due to viral hepatitis in eight patients, auto-...
متن کاملAnimal Ecology
Every animal is (1,2) closely linked with a number of other animals living round it, and these relations in an animal community are largely food relations. (3) Man himself is in the centre of such an animal community, as is shown by his relations to plague-carrying rats and (4) to malaria or the diseases of his domestic animals, e.g. liver-rot in sheep. (5) The dependence of man upon other anim...
متن کاملThe first ten years, the next ten years
The User Requirements Notation (URN), standardized by the International Telecommunication Union in 2008, is used to model and analyze requirements with goals and scenarios. This paper describes the first ten years of development of URN, and discusses ongoing efforts targeting the next ten years. We did a study inspired by the systematic literature review approach, querying five major search eng...
