Influence of diet on the distribution of nitrogen isotopes in animals
Michael J. DeNiro,Samuel Epstein +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of diet on the distribution of nitrogen isotopes in animals was investigated by analyzing animals grown in the laboratory on diets of constant nitrogen isotopic composition and found that the variability of the relationship between the δ(15)N values of animals and their diets is greater for different individuals raised on the same diet than for the same species raised on different diets.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of diet on the distribution of nitrogen isotopes in animals was investigated by analyzing animals grown in the laboratory on diets of constant nitrogen isotopic composition and found that the variability of the relationship between the δ^(15)N values of animals and their diets is greater for different individuals raised on the same diet than for the same species raised on different diets.

Nitrogen and carbon isotopic composition of bone collagen from marine and terrestrial animals
TL;DR: Results indicate that bone collagen δ15N values will be useful in determining relative dependence on marine and terrestrial food sources and in investigating trophic level relationships among different animal species within an ecosystem.

Tansley Review No. 95 15N natural abundance in soil-plant systems
TL;DR: Measurements of δ15 N might offer the advantage of giving insights into the N cycle without disturbing the system by adding 15 N tracer, as well as giving information on N source effects, which can give insights into N cycle rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental determination of nitrogen kinetic isotope fractionation: Some principles; illustration for the denitrification and nitrification processes
TL;DR: A few principles relative to the presentation and use of nitrogen stable isotopic data are briefly reviewed in this article, where some classical relationships between the isotope composition of a substrate undergoing a single-step unidirectional reaction, are introduced.
