Stable isotope methods in biological and ecological studies of arthropods (2007, methodology): “For example, bulk samples may exhibit less isotopic shift than specific tissues such as muscle tissue (McCutchan et al., 2003).”
Using Isoscapes to Model Probability Surfaces for Determining Geographic Origins (2010, methodology): “The linear models shown were used to calibrate the water-based isoscape from Bowen et al. (2005) for use in determining spatially explicit probability densities for feathers of unknown origin.”
Recent advances in understanding migration systems of New World land birds (2010, background): “Furthermore, stable-isotope analysis of feathers and genetic sampling might reveal population-specific breeding and/or nonbreeding ranges (see isoscape depictions in Bowen et al. 2005), which represents a second issue of high priority.”
Effects of acid treatment on carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in ecological samples: a review and synthesis (2014, positive): “to determine the geographic origin of wildlife and other biological material in forensic applications (Van Der Merwe et al. 1990; Vogel et al. 1990; Bowen et al. 2005).”
Ten years of experimental animal isotopic ecology (2009, positive): “Some tissues (e.g. feathers, hair, and shells) are deposited in discrete intervals, remain inert, and retain the isotopic composition of resources incorporated while they were manufactured (Bowen et al. 2005).”
Stable hydrogen isotopes of bone collagen in palaeodietary and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction (2008, background): “Using isotope precipitation maps from Hobson et al. (2004) and Bowen et al. (2005b) ,a3 0e40& decrease in dD from the UK occurs further north in the middle of Scandinavia, the Baltic States, and the mid/north of Russia.”
A Guide to Using Compound-Specific Stable Isotope Analysis to Study the Fates of Molecules in Organisms and Ecosystems (2019, background): “The key premises of isotope ecology are that: (1) carbon isotope (δ13C) values vary among primary producers, and this variation persists in higher trophic-level consumers [2]; (2) nitrogen isotope (δ15N) values increase systematically moving up a food chain with consumers having higher δ15N values t”
