Embracing variability in amino acid δ15N fractionation: mechanisms, implications, and applications for trophic ecology
Compound‐specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) of individual amino acids (AA s) has
become a powerful analytical tool in trophic ecology. Heavily fractionating “trophic” AA s (eg …

First evidence and potential sources of novel brominated flame retardants and BDE 209 in the deepest ocean
Organic anthropogenic pollutants reach even the deepest parts of the oceans, ie, the hadal
trenches. We here presented the concentrations, influencing factors, and potential sources …

Movements and foraging of predators associated with mesophotic coral reefs and their potential for linking ecological habitats
Marine predators will often perform diel and seasonal movements associated with specific
habitats. In tropical areas, mesophotic coral reefs may be an important habitat type for many …

Isotope data from amino acids indicate Darwin's ground sloth was not an herbivore
Fossil sloths are regarded as obligate herbivores for reasons including peculiarities of their
craniodental morphology and that all living sloths feed exclusively on plants. We challenge …
