Chapter 16 is where the stable isotopes are in case you were wondering! It's a good resource for parasitologists who may be interested in applying SI techniques to parasite-host relationships.

Host–Parasite Trophic Interactions as Revealed by Stable Isotope Analyses: Determinants for Trophic and Isotopic Niches of Hosts and Their Associated Parasites
The analysis of stable isotopes (SIA) in organisms, especially those of carbon (13C/12C) and nitrogen (15N/14N), is a well-established and powerful tool for analysing trophic interactions between free...

Don't remember the tech companies pouring quite so much capex into 3D printing, TBH. Or a major 3D printmaker comprising a large portion of the S&P 500. Or access to printers being regulated by US policy as a bargaining chip.
The materials being poured into this will have a global effect...

To better understand parasite feeding, where they get their nutrients, and their ecosystem impacts we made a dataset:
✅ Standardised protocol for global comparisons
✅ 586 new host-parasite pairs
✅ Carbon, nitrogen and sulphur stable isotope values
✅ Doubling existing data, tripling δ³⁴S records
✅ Standardised protocol for global comparisons
✅ 586 new host-parasite pairs
✅ Carbon, nitrogen and sulphur stable isotope values
✅ Doubling existing data, tripling δ³⁴S records
