The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

Purpose This review of sediment source fingerprinting assesses the current state-of-the-art,
remaining challenges and emerging themes. It combines inputs from international scientists …

Stable isotope mixing models are increasingly used to quantify consumer diets, but may be
misused and misinterpreted. We address major challenges to their effective application …

Trophic ecology information about cetaceans is essential to understand their role in
ecosystem dynamics. Stable isotope analysis is a valuable complementary approach to …

Stable isotope analysis is increasingly being used to assess diet and trophic positions of
animals. Such assessments require estimates of trophic discrimination factors (TDFs)—offset …

Understanding the factors shaping patterns of ecological resilience is critical for mitigating
the loss of global biodiversity. Throughout aquatic environments, highly mobile predators …

To elucidate the sources and transfer of mercury (Hg) in terrestrial food chains, particularly in
heavily Hg-contaminated rice paddy ecosystems, we collected rice leaves, invertebrates …

Soil erosion and fine particle transport are two of the major challenges in food security and
water quality for the growing global population. Information of the areas prone to erosion is …

Fingerprinting technique is a widely used tool to assess the sources of sediments and
particle bound chemicals within a watershed, and the results obtained from unmixing …

Lead (Pb) isotopes provide valuable insights into the origin of Pb within a sample, typically
allowing for reliable fingerprinting of their source. This is useful for a variety of applications …
