… The procedures described in this paper are an expansion of those described in Phillips (2001),
which demonstrated that a multiplicity of source contribution solutions were possible in …

Stable isotope mixing models are often used to quantify source contributions to a mixture.
Examples include pollution source identification; trophic web studies; analysis of water …

In this paper, we review recent advances in stable isotope mixing models (SIMMs) and place
them into an overarching Bayesian statistical framework, which allows for several useful …

Fifty years ago, GE Hutchinson defined the ecological niche as a hypervolume in n‐dimensional
space with environmental variables as axes. Ecologists have recently developed …

Minirhizotrons provide a nondestructive, in situ method for directly viewing and studying fine
roots. Although many insights into fine roots have been gained using minirhizotrons, a …

A common use of stable isotope analysis in mammalogy is to make inferences about diet
from isotope values (typically δ 13 C and δ 15 N) measured in tissues and food sources of a …

The general linear equation may be written as bph (x) f (x)--~ IK (x, y) f (y) dy= g (x)

The demand for climatological precipitation fields on a regular grid is growing dramatically as
ecological and hydrological models become increasingly linked to geographic information …

Stable isotope analyses are often used to quantify the contribution of multiple sources to a
mixture, such as proportions of food sources in an animal's diet, or C 3 and C 4 plant inputs to …

Stable isotope mixing models are increasingly used to quantify consumer diets, but may be
misused and misinterpreted. We address major challenges to their effective application. …
