Practical considerations for amino acid isotope analysis
Over the last few decades, isotopic analysis of amino acids at the compound-and position-
specific levels has been rapidly advancing across diverse fields. As these techniques …

To meat or not to meat? New perspectives on N eanderthal ecology
Neanderthals have been commonly depicted as top predators who met their nutritional
needs by focusing entirely on meat. This information mostly derives from faunal assemblage …

Isotopic evidence for the diets of European Neanderthals and early modern humans
MP Richards, E Trinkaus - Proceedings of the National …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
We report here on the direct isotopic evidence for Neanderthal and early modern human
diets in Europe. Isotopic methods indicate the sources of dietary protein over many years of …

High‐resolution food webs based on nitrogen isotopic composition of amino acids
Food webs are known to have myriad trophic links between resource and consumer
species. While herbivores have well‐understood trophic tendencies, the difficulties …

Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen as tracers for paleo-diet reconstruction
HP Schwarcz, MJ Schoeninger - Handbook of Environmental Isotope …, 2012 - Springer
The isotopic compositions of the tissues of animals and humans are determined by the
proportions of the various nutrients which they consume. This allows us to determine how …

Long-term resilience of late Holocene coastal subsistence system in southeastern South America
Isotopic and molecular analysis on human, fauna and pottery remains can provide valuable
new insights into the diets and subsistence practices of prehistoric populations. These are …

15N/14N ratios of amino acids as a tool for studying terrestrial food webs: a case study of terrestrial insects (bees, wasps, and hornets)
Compound‐specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) of amino acids is a new method that
enables estimates of trophic position for consumers in food webs. We examined the nitrogen …

A new insight into isotopic fractionation associated with decarboxylation in organisms: Implications for amino acid isotope approaches in biogeoscience
Abstract Stable nitrogen (15 N/14 N) and carbon (13 C/12 C) isotopic compositions of amino
acids in organisms have widely been employed as a powerful tool to evaluate resource …
