• Zooplankton in the eastern tropical north Pacific: Boundary effects of oxygen minimum zone expansion (2013, neutral): “An increasing gradient in δ(15)N is often used as an indicator of a feeding progression to higher trophic levels (Fry, 2006).”
• Incorporating uncertainty and prior information into stable isotope mixing models. (2008, background): “…lack of distinctiveness in source isotope signatures and the correct choice of tissues for isotope analysis are also generic to isotopic mixing models, including our own (Gannes et al. 1997; Phillips & Koch 2002; Phillips & Gregg 2003; Martı́nez del Rio & Wolf 2005; Phillips et al. 2005; Fry 2006).”
• Forensic timber identification: It's time to integrate disciplines to combat illegal logging (2015, methodology): “By utilising one ormore informative stable isotopes, commonly including the bioelements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) (Fry, 2007) and other elements such as sulphur (Thode, 1991) and strontium (Capo et al.”
• Stable isotope and fatty acid tracers in energy and nutrient studies of jellyfish: a review (2008, background): “Early studies compared consumer isotopic ratios with potential source ratios visually, but data are now routinely analyzed using mixing models to quantify the contributions from different sources (Fry, 2006).”
• Use of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in insect trophic ecology (2015, background): “As such, they have the same chemical and physical properties, but have different physicochemical reaction rates, or isotope fractionation, due to the slightly different mass (Fry 2006).”
• Complex interactions between marine sponges and their symbiotic microbial communities (2011, methodology): “By isolating microbial cells (source 1) and sponge cells (sample) from bulk sponge tissue and analyzing these separately, along with POM (source 2), one can determine the relative contribution of each source to the host sponge using a two-end member stable isotope mixing model (Fry, 2006).”
• Determination of aquatic food‐web structure based on compound‐specific nitrogen isotopic composition of amino acids (2009, background): “The stable isotope analysis of bulk organic materials has been used to investigate food-web structures in a number of ecological studies (Fry 2006).”
• Isotopic ecology ten years after a call for more laboratory experiments (2009, background): “Fry (2006) daydreams of a hand-held isotope scanner for bulk analyses.”
• Applications of stable isotope analyses to avian ecology (2008, background): “These isotopes vary in mass, and among biologically important elements such as Hydrogen (H), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O) and Sulphur (S), the lightest stable isotope is much more common, usually around 20 times more abundant than its heavier counterpart (Fry 2006).”
