Applications of stable isotope analysis in zooarchaeology: An introduction
(Wiley, 2014-03)
This special volume brings together works that present cases of studies that combine analysis of stable isotopes and zooarchaeology in different areas of Chile and Argentina, with special emphasis on the latter. These ...
Intraspecific variability in isotopic composition of a monomorphic seabird, the Common Tern ( Sterna hirundo ), at wintering grounds
(Csiro Publishing, 2019-04)
Understanding sex differences in foraging behaviour has important implications for breeding biology and population ecology. This requires the evaluation of segregation throughout the annual cycle, including the non-breeding ...
Intraskeletal variability in stable isotope ratios of C and N among pinnipeds and cetaceans
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-08)
Stable isotope analysis of C and N has become a popular method for addressing questions on the trophic ecology andhabitat use of marine mammals (Newsome, Clementz, & Koch, 2010; Rubenstein & Hobson, 2004). The method ...
Stable isotope profiles of partially migratory salmonid populations in Atlantic rivers of Patagonia
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-05)
In the present study, profiles of stable isotope composition were characterized for two species with partially migratory populations in rivers along the latitudinal gradient of Patagonia, brown trout Salmo trutta and rainbow ...
Stable Isotope Analysis of the Inca Mummy from Nevado de Chuscha (Salta, Argentina)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-08)
This paper presents the carbon (13C/12C), nitrogen (15N/14N), oxygen (18O/16O), hydrogen (2H/1H) and sulfur (34S/32S) stable isotope values measured in the hair of a female individual from north-western Argentina. The ...
Empire and stable isotopes: Assessing the impact of Inka expansion on local diet in the southern Puna, Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-10)
Dietary studies can offer insight into the effects of imperial rule on colonised populations. Inka expansion was associated with change in agricultural production and diet, including greater emphasis on maize. This article ...
Insights into the distribution of shallow-marine to estuarine Early Miocene oysters from southwestern Patagonia: sedimentologic and stable isotope constraints
(Society For Sedimentary Geology, 2013-06)
The early Miocene Patagoniense transgression in southwestern Patagonia, Argentina (Estancia 25 de Mayo Formation), consists of shallow marine to estuarine deposits that bear numerous oyster shell beds distributed all over ...
Linking stable isotopes and biochemical responses in Balanus glandula under sewage influence
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-02)
In the present study, we analyzed the influence of untreated sewage exposure on carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopic composition and several biochemical responses in the barnacle Balanus glandula. The main objective ...
Food provisioning in magellanic penguins as inferred from stable isotope ratios
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-03)
Rationale: Food provisioning is considered one of the main traits affecting offspring fitness. Differences in food provisioning between sexes, particularly in dimorphic species, could affect the amount and type of food ...
Assessing Prehispanic Herding Strategies through Stable Isotope Analysis: A Case Study from the Dry Puna of Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-11)
The main goal of this work is to study the camelid herding and management strategies employed by the human groups that occupied the Dry Puna of Argentina during the late Holocene. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ...
