TL;DR: The carbon isotope fractionation between tooth enamel bioapatite, breath CO2, and diet was measured for voles, rabbits, pigs, and cattle on controlled diets and there is a 1:1 correlation between 3*ediet and 3* enamelediet, consistent with the hypothesis that inter-species differences in 3-ediet are primarily a result of differences in digestive physiology.

TL;DR: A detailed description of the biotransformation system with respect to plant secondary metabolites is given and some new tools that can be applied to long-standing questions of plant–vertebrate interactions are discussed.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that microbes can enhance the ability of hosts to consume PSCs and therefore expand the dietary niche breadth of mammalian herbivores.

TL;DR: In this article, the isotope composition of the drinking water and food supplied to captive woodrats to quantify the relationships between drinking water (δdw), body water (βw), and tissue (γw) was used to study resource utilization and migration in animals and to reconstruct climate.

TL;DR: Fish exhibited the most significant changes due to fasting, while geckos maintained a stable community over 28 days of fasting, and several shared responses of the microbiota across hosts were uncovered.
