New paper on tropical #timber #tracing! We tested the use of wood oxygen stable isotopes (δ18O ) for tracing. We produced #isoscapes for 5 major tropical timbers. These isoscapes alone had limited utility. Combinations with other techniques may help. #timtrace

For today's #Science #Trivia #Saturday I’m highlighting some epic #BiologicalAnthropology research I saw at the 2025 annual meeting of the AABA: using #AminoAcids to differentiate between marine & freshwater fish in #Diet isotopes, making #Isoscapes, addressing discipline assumptions, & much more! 🧪
a mountain cabin next to a stream, built with those little lego-like things that are plus-shaped instead of brick shaped. this is a front isometric view, showing a the river spilling over the edge and a path leading up to a very tall and skinny A-frame cabin.

the instructions were kinda hard to get a handle on, but honestly, this Does Things for me. i want to live here. can't you just feel the chilly morning air? hear the rushing water? don't you just know that you're wearing something plaid and flannel? UUUUGH i want it. #Isoscapes
Say what? Say hi!
I loved sharing marine science and ideas, so come say hi! Rebuilding my cool network of research & #SciComm pros:
#MarineConservation, #TrophicEcology, #MPAs, #Isoscapes,
#InvasiveSpecies, #StableIsotopes, #MarineManagement
