Small-scale spatial variability of food partitioning between cultivated oysters and associated suspension-feeding species, as revealed by stable isotopes (2007, methodology): “Thus, no treatment with HCl was used to remove carbonates in order to avoid significant changes in δ15N isotopic composition (Kaehler & Pakhomov 2001).”
A practical introduction to stable-isotope analysis for seabird biologists: Approaches, cautions and caveats (2009, background): “Even when historical prey samples are available, isotopic ratios are prone to artificial changes caused by preservation techniques (Hobson et al. 1997, Kaehler & Pakhomov 2001, Sarakinos et al. 2002, Feuchtmayr & Grey 2003, Rau et al. 2003).”
Using stable isotope biogeochemistry to study marine mammal ecology (2010, background): “Multiple studies have assessed which methods provide the best preservation of soft tissue stable isotope values (Hobson et al. 1997a, Gloutney and Hobson 1998, Kaehler and Pakhomov 2001, Edwards et al. 2002, Sarakinos et al. 2002, Feuchtmayr and Grey 2003, Kelly et al. 2006, Barrow et al. 2008).”
Tissue, ontogenic and sex-related differences in δ13C and δ15N values of the oceanic squid Todarodes filippovae (Cephalopoda: Ommastrephidae) (2009, unknown): “Ethanol preservation increases 13C values due to partial removal of isotopically lighter lipids present in the samples (Kaehler and Pakhomov 2001).”
Foodweb structure in a tropical Asian forest stream (2004, background): “Animal samples preserved in 10% formalin, as in our study, are d13C-depleted by ;1.65‰, while their d15N value remains unchanged (Kaehler and Pakhomov 2001, Sarakinos et al. 2002).”
Compositional and interlake variability of zooplankton affect baseline stable isotope signatures (2003, background): “The handling time of invertebrates, while unpreserved, can have a significant effect on both the d13C and the d15N within 24 h of sample collection (Kaehler and Pakhomov 2001).”
