1. Adaptive radiations are typically characterized by niche partitioning among their constituent species. Trophic niche partitioning is particularly important in predatory animals, which rely on ...

This analytical technique utilises the stable isotopes preserved in land snail shells as reliable proxies for reconstructing past environmental and climatic conditions. The isotopic compositions, ...

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 ...

With the new grant, the Stable Isotope Lab will acquire a cutting-edge instrument called an isotope-ratio-monitoring mass spectrometer (IRMS). A major grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) ...

Analysis of individual amino acid (AA) δ15N values is increasingly common in studies of food web architecture, movement ecology, and biogeochemical cycling. However, observations that nitrogen isotope ...

The discovery of a peculiarly shaped skull by archaeologists has illuminated a previously unknown ritual deformation process.

Although there has been evidence of our species living in rainforest regions in Southeast Asia from at least 70,000 years ago, the poor preservation of organic material in these regions limits how ...
