Age, body mass and environmental variation shape the foraging ontogeny of Galapagos sea lions (2012, background): “These findings are similar to the patterns of ontogenetic changes in stable isotope signatures of other mammal species (Balasse 2001, Newsome et al. 2006, Dalerum et al. 2007, York et al. 2008).”
Age-related variation in isotopic indicators of diet at medieval Kulubnarti, Sudanese Nubia (2007, background): “Regarding the observed decline in 15N, Balasse et al. (2001) demonstrated through controlled feeding experiments that 15N depletion in collagen reflects not the gradual decline in breastfeeding, but the actual cessation of breastfeeding, unless there is a substantial amount of protein in the…”
Stable isotopes reveal seasonal competition for resources between late Pleistocene bison (Bison) and horse (Equus) from Rancho La Brea, southern California (2009, background): “…is created incrementally, intraseasonal variation in ecology, based on isotope values, is possible to identify, particularly in high-crowned species, using serially sampled enamel from individual teeth (Fricke and O'Neil, 1996; Balasse et al., 2001, 2003; Passey and Cerling, 2002; Kohn, 2004).”
Early Weaning of Neolithic Domestic Cattle (Bercy, France) Revealed by Intra-tooth Variation in Nitrogen Isotope Ratios (2002, background): “The modern steer has on average lower collagen 15N values than the archaeological bovines because both the mother cow and the calf were fed soy beans ( Balasse et al., 2001 ), a leguminous plant characterized by low 15N values.”
Small scale camelid husbandry on the north coast of Peru (Virú Valley): Insight from stable isotope analysis (2014, background): “…nail, whisker) grow at discrete intervals or continuously, diachronic isotopic analyses of these tissues can provide high-resolution life histories of individuals, reflecting temporal shifts in diet, residence, and potentially health (Balasse et al., 2001; Knudson et al., 2007; White et al., 2009).”
New Directions in Bioarchaeology: Recent Contributions to the Study of Human Social Identities (2008, background): “While much of this work has involved faunal material (e.g., Balasse 2003; Balasse et al. 2001, 2002; Cerling and Sharp 1996), these techniques could allow researchers to complement bulk sample analysis of bone collagen and apatite with analysis of enamel samples that provide a fine-grained…”
Childhood diet : a closer examination of the evidence from dental tissues using stable isotope analysis of incremental human dentine. (2013, background): “…sampling that follows the known pattern of dentine development on faunal samples has produced a high-resolution isotopic record of dietary and metabolic changes, allowing the comparison of seasonal dietary variations (Balasse et al. 2001; Kirsanow et al. 2008; Wiedemann-Bidlack et al. 2008).”
Estimating weaning and early childhood diet from serial micro-samples of dentin collagen (2011, unknown): “Such micro-sampling combined with stable isotope analysis has been applied to dental tissues of animals (e.g., Balasse and Tresset, 2002; Balasse et al., 2001; Zazzo et al., 2006; Humphrey et al., 2008a, 2008b; Kirsanow et al., 2008), but to our knowledge has only recently been applied to human teet”
