Ecological applications of stable isotope analysis rely on different producers having distinct isotopic ratios to trace energy and nutrient transfer to consumers. Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) are the ...

Mosasaurs were the apex predators of the oceans during the reign of the dinosaurs, but new research reveals dinosaurs weren't ...

Isotopic analysis primarily involves the separation of isotopes based on the significant differences in mass. The method is effective for identifying the isotopic signature within the inorganic and ...

Analysing the source of water is the first step in the development of effective strategies to ensure its availability in the long run and protect water quality. Since the 1990s, the IAEA has offered ...

Mg isotope compositions of some typical geological standard samples measured by the DS method and the SSB method in different laboratories. The sample-standard-bracketing (SSB) method and double-spike ...

Carbon, nitrogen and sulphur stable isotopes analysis is an effective technique to reconstruct nestling Bonelli’s Eagle diet, according to a new paper. Diet analyses are central to the study of avian ...

Stable isotope techniques can help improve soil management and crop nutrition. To ensure the quality of stable isotope analysis through isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), appropriate sample ...

To save elephant populations from extinction, the international community banned the sale of their ivory—but selling mammoth ivory remains legal, and the two are difficult to tell apart, especially ...

The Stable Isotope Laboratory in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Western Michigan University uses known stable isotope techniques for geochemical, hydrological and other ...
