Stable isotope methods in biological and ecological studies of arthropods (2007, background): “…be calculated if a number of organisms are initially uniformly labelled and the change in enrichment, due to dilution effects of the label from unlabelled sources and loss of label through excretion or respiration, is monitored over time (Figure 2) (O’Brien et al., 2000; Hood-Nowotny et al., 2006).”
On the Use of Stable Isotopes in Trophic Ecology (2011, methodology): “…webs (Minagawa & Wada 1984, Fry 1991, Post 2002; see also Hoeinghaus & Zeug 2008), to elucidate patterns of resource acquisition and allocation (O’Brien et al. 2000, Cherel et al. 2005, Waas et al. 2010), and to characterize niche properties (Genner et al. 1999, Bearhop et al. 2004, Newsome et…”
Making eggs from nectar: the role of life history and dietary carbon turnover in butterfly reproductive resource allocation (2004, unknown): “This approach enabled them to trace carbon use in eggs with high accuracy, and they proposed a descriptive carbon turnover model to describe how egg nutrients were incorporated into eggs (O’Brien et al. 2000).”
Use of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in insect trophic ecology (2015, methodology): “Regarding the use of carbohydrate sources in insects, bulk C isotopic analysis has shown that a hawkmoth Amphion floridensis (Sphingidae) can use nectar C to produce eggs based on feeding experiments with C3-based and C4-based diets (O’Brien et al. 2000).”
Allocation of larval and adult resources to reproduction in a fruit‐feeding butterfly (2004, unknown): “This shift was well described by a turnover model similar to that applied to nectar-feeding Lepidoptera (O’Brien et al. 2000): egg δ(13)C = e(δ(13)Ci − δ(13)Cf) + δ(13)Cf eqn 1”
