The latest Devonian negative shift in the terrestrial organic
carbon isotope ratio, followed by the early Carboniferous positive trend, was reported by Strauss & Peters-Kottig (2003).
Infant and child diet in Neolithic hunter-fisher-gatherers from Cis-Baikal, Siberia: Intra-long bone stable nitrogen and
carbon isotope ratios. American Journal of Physical Anthropology 146(2):225-241.
Carbon Isotope Ratios--The leaves that we used to measure leaf mass per area we also used to determine leaf
carbon isotope ratios. We combined leaves from one tree into one sample, placed the sample in a mortar, and ground it until a homogenous mixture was formed.
A Mann-Whitney U test performed only for data of these two prey species revealed a highly significant difference in their stable
carbon isotope ratios (U = 0.0, P < 0.001), supporting our notion of a bimodal distribution in consumer stable
carbon isotope ratios.
Summary statistics for stable
carbon isotope ratio ([[delta].sup.13]C) chronologies by site.
The data of gravimetry as well as
carbon isotope ratios were analyzed for their statistical significance among the genotypes following a completely randomized design by MSTATC software (Anonymous, 1989).
