DOI: 10.1002/rcm.9286
Abstract: Rationale Dental calculus (mineralised dental plaque) is composed primarily of hydroxyapatite. We hypothesise that the carbonate component of dental calculus will reflect the isotopic composition of ingested simple carbohydrates. Therefore, dental calculus carbonates may be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-017-3418-3
Abstract: AimsStable carbon isotopes are important tracers used to understand ecological food web processes and vegetation shifts over time. However, gaps exist in understanding soil and plant processes that influence δ13C values, particularly across smallholder farming… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2020.109857
Abstract: Abstract Insects encode proxy environmental information about regional vegetation structure in the stable carbon isotope (δ13C) composition of their tissues. However, uncertainty lies in the exact relationship between “community” insect δ13C values and the overall… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/qua.2020.78
Abstract: Abstract Limited numbers of high-resolution records predate the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) making it difficult to quantify the impacts of environmental changes prior to peak glaciation. We examined sediments from Last Canyon Cave in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10256016.2023.2179045
Abstract: ABSTRACT Eurasian red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris have unusually high δ 13C values compared to other forest rodents, which is seemingly related to the consumption of 13C-enriched conifer seeds. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the… read more here.
