DOI: 10.1002/jqs.3103
Abstract: Quantitative climate reconstructions from pollen typically rely on empirical relationships between pollen abundances or assemblages and climate, such as the modern analogue technique. However, these techniques may be problematic when applied to fossil sequences, as… read more here.

Isotope analysis of human dental calculus δ13CO3 2−: Investigating a potential new proxy for sugar consumption
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry"
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: 10.1016/j.beproc.2017.03.019
Abstract: A novel type of filial cannibalism has been reported in pipefishes, in which the eggs are absorbed through the male's brood-pouch epithelium. The present study explored the applicability of stable isotope analysis for the detection… read more here.
