Stable isotopes reveal seasonal competition for resources between late Pleistocene bison (Bison) and horse (Equus) from Rancho La Brea, southern California (2009, background): “In individual mammals, there is a consistent fractionation in carbon isotope value from the diet to tooth enamel, measured as +14.6‰±0.3‰ for large ruminants ( Passey et al., 2005 ).”
Stable isotope characterization of mammalian predator–prey relationships in a South African savanna (2007, background): “Animal tissues differ with respect to carbon-isotope differences between the source (diet) and consumer (Tieszen et al. 1983; Lee-Thorp et al. 1989; Ambrose and Norr 1993; Sponheimer et al. 2003a, 2006; Passey et al. 2005).”
Using stable isotope biogeochemistry to study marine mammal ecology (2010, background): “…− 1], where X is the element, h is the mass of the heavy (and more rare) isotope, and Rsample and Rstandard are the heavy-to-light isotope ratios (e.g., 13C/12C, 15N/14N, 18O/16O) of the sample and standard, respectively (discussion based on Passey et al. 2005, Fry 2006, Sulzman 2007).”
Stable Isotopes of Carbon and Nitrogen as Tracers for Paleo-Diet Reconstruction (2012, background): “The amount of this offset in humans is not precisely known, although it has been studied in animals where it is found to vary widely ( Passey et al. 2005 ).”
Isotopic evidence for contrasting diets of early hominins Homo habilis and Australopithecus boisei of Tanzania (2008, background): “The end members may vary slightly with plant δ(13)C values, and individual fractionation factors, while the value for the C4 dietary component may vary slightly with the different digestive strategies of different species.(19) In order to compare the C4 dietary components of Tanzanian and South Afri”
Macronutrient-based model for dietary carbon routing in bone collagen and bioapatite (2012, background): “3) in equilibrium with carbon dioxide expired from metabolism of the dietary mix (Krueger and Sullivan 1984; Hedges and van Klinken 2000; Passey et al. 2005).”
