Global patterns of foliar nitrogen isotopes and their relationships with climate, mycorrhizal fungi, foliar nutrient concentrations, and nitrogen availability. (2009, background): “Foliar δ 15 N varies by over 32‰ among plants found in natural ecosystems (Yoneyama et al., 1993; Aranibar et al., 2004; Codron et al., 2005; Hobbie et al., 2005) and is well known to vary somewhat systematically along gradients of climate and nutrient cycling (Schulze et al., 1994; Handley et al.,…”
Mechanical Properties of Plant Underground Storage Organs and Implications for Dietary Models of Early Hominins (2008, background): “Despite such morphological variation, the parenchymatous tissues of all USOs possess starch grains, which are a food resource for herbivores, including humans, throughout sub-Saharan Africa (Hladik et al. 1984; Malaisse and Parent 1985; Vincent 1985a; Campbell 1986; Peters 1990, 1994, 1996; Peters”
Combining histology, stable isotope analysis and ZooMS collagen fingerprinting to investigate the taphonomic history and dietary behaviour of extinct giant tortoises from the Mare aux Songes deposit on Mauritius (2014, unknown): “between leaves, stems, seeds and roots (Yoneyama et al., 1997; Codron et al., 2005; Pechenkina et al., 2005; Pardo et al., 2013).”
Isotopic evidence of early hominin diets (2013, background): “C4 plants comprise tropical grasses, some sedges, and little else as a percentage of biomass in African savanna environments (18, 19) (SI Text).”
Diets of savanna ungulates from stable carbon isotope composition of faeces (2007, methodology): “Here, we use regionally and seasonally specific endpoint values based on data for Kruger Park vegetation; that is northern and southern granites and basalts, respectively, Punda Maria, and dry or wet season (data from Codron et al., 2005).”
Macronutrient-based model for dietary carbon routing in bone collagen and bioapatite (2012, methodology): “Fixed macronutrient isotopic offsets from bulk grass δ13C values were established based on western African grasses data (Tieszen 1991; Codron et al. 2005).”
Stable isotopes reveal seasonal competition for resources between late Pleistocene bison (Bison) and horse (Equus) from Rancho La Brea, southern California (2009, background): “Similarly, intra-population δ13C variation due to seasonal changes is usually less than 1‰ (O'Leary, 1988; Garten Jr. and Taylor Jr., 1992; Mole et al., 1994; Heaton, 1999; Codron et al., 2005).”
