Clumped isotope values (Δ47) of carbonates forming in high pH conditions do not correspond to mineral precipitation temperatures due certain effects including kinetic fractionation and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) endmember mixing. Field-based archives these carbonate environments are needed evaluate quantify accurately. In this study, we measure the clumped anthropogenic for first time. Tu...

Abstract. Paleotemperature reconstructions of the end-Cretaceous interval document local and global climate trends, some driven by greenhouse gas emissions from Deccan Traps volcanism associated feedbacks. Here, we present a new clumped-isotope-based paleotemperature record derived fossil bivalves Maastrichtian type region in southeastern Netherlands northeastern Belgium. Clumped isotope data m...

Speleothems (dominated by cave-hosted carbonate deposits) are valuable archives of paleoclimate conditions. As such, they potential targets clumped isotope analyses that may yield quantified data about past temperature variations. Clumped stalagmites, however, seldom provide useful values due to various fractionation processes. This study focuses on the determination microbially induced vital e...

Flies cohabit with humans, particularly in areas poor sanitation, producing health problems. serve as vectors for spreading a variety of harmful bacteria, either directly or through food. This research aims to use an ex post facto approach determine the amount diversity and distribution patterns flies Gampong Jawa, Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. Furthermore, this study can be used reference sorts ...

Animals that live in groups may experience positive interactions such as cooperative behavior or negative competition from group members depending on size and similarity between individuals. The effect of phenotypic ecological assembly has not been well-studied. Mixed-species flocks are important subsets bird communities worldwide. We examined associations within these relation to flock size, u...

Travertine spring mounds are common in Slovakia; however, their age and depositional temperature still poorly known. Our study is the first multimethodological investigation involving stable carbon, oxygen, clumped isotope (Δ47) analyses U-Th determination of travertine from different locations Slovakia (Santovka, Dudince, Čerin, Bešeňová, Liptovský Ján, Liptovské Sliače, Vyšné Ružbachy, Gánovc...
