Sulfur as a proxy for identifying coast-inland human mobility in Northern Iberia during Late Prehistory Population movements constitute a significant driver of cultural change in prehistoric societies. In recent years, sulfur isotopes have emerged as a valuable approach for distinguishing human/animal p...

Potential metabolic records in isotope signals of chondrichthyan hard tissues Recent advances have demonstrated that the field metabolic rates (FMRs) of teleost fishes can be quantified from stable isotope compositions of carbonate-biomineralized otoliths. Bones and teeth, in ...

As an extension of our study, we estimated the δ¹³C metabolic proxy in chondrichthyan skeletons. Huge credit to Eric Díaz-Delgado for leading the effort! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

We’re continuing to explore the potential of #δ¹³C metabolic proxy. This time, we showed that δ¹³C values in vertebral carbonate can reflect metabolic rates. More possibilities in the future. Big credit to Eric @erichsieh15206.bsky.social!
