Environmental, Taxonomic, and Stable Isotope Data from Aquatic Insects sampled from Beaver-Engineered Headwater Streams (Adirondack Park, NY; 2024).
This data package contains environmental and biological data from a field study examining aquatic insect assemblage composition and basal resource use in beaver-engineered headwater streams in Adirondack Park, New York. Data was collected from six streams across two watersheds; the Oswegatchie River Watershed and Upper Hudson River Watershed. Three streams were sampled within the Oswegatchie River Watershed; East Creek, Sucker Brook, and Chair Rock Creek located near the Cranberry Lake Biological Station in St. Lawrence County. Three streams were sampled from the Upper Hudson River Watershed; Big Sucker Brook, Little Sucker Brook, and Panther Brook located near SUNY ESF’s Newcomb Campus in Essex County. Site conditions were characterized using densiometer measurements of canopy cover, visual assessments of substrate composition, and river discharge measurements collected with an OTT MF Pro flow meter. Aquatic insect assemblages were sampled using multihabitat active sampling and Hester–Dendy and leaf-bag passive samplers, with specimens identified to genus and assigned to functional feeding groups. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes were analyzed for a subset of insect taxa and three basal resource pools; coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM), fine particulate organic matter (FPOM), and periphytic algae. The Bayesian mixing model MixSIAR was used to estimate the proportional contribution of these primary sources to aquatic insect biomass. All data was collected between June and August 2024.

SBC LTER: Land Ocean Reef: Foodweb Stable Isotopes: Isotope data
Potentially important food sources to primary consumers on shallow subtidal reefs include phytoplankton-dominated seston, kelp-derived detritus, and for locations adjacent to sources of freshwater runoff, terrestrially-derived POM. The SBCLTER is using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratio analysis of monthly water, kelp tissue and samples consumers of varying trophic status to evaluate the relative contribution of these sources to reef food webs. SBCLTER research has focused on beginning to characterize variability in the isotope values of potential food sources (phytoplankton, kelp, and terrestrial POM). To investigate sources of variability in values of marine POM, including contributions from phytoplankton, we are collecting monthly water samples and filtering them for POM from on and offshore of the reef, at locations less likely to be influenced by inputs from kelp or terrestrial runoff and more likely to reflect a primarily phytoplankton source at the three core SBCLTER research sites (Arroyo Quemado, Naples, Carpinteria). To identify the range of variability of isotopic ratio in kelp tissue, we concurrently collect kelp tissue samples from the three core research sites. To identify food sources used by reef consumers under different conditions of runoff, ocean climate and kelp production we have begun sampling a variety of reef consumers chosen to represent different trophic levels. Tissue samples were collected in April 2002 from the same species of consumers at four reef sites (Carpinteria, Naples, Mohawk, Arroyo Quemada), which vary in their proximity to sources of runoff and in their standing stock of giant kelp. We have also collected sediment samples at fixed distances from the source of runoff at four research sites (Naples, Goleta Bay, Mohawk, Carpinteria). This information will be used to evaluate whether these isotopic values differ enough from one another to permit the use of mixing models to estimate the contribution of each source to the reef
Stable isotope data of a community of mid‑trophic level epipelagic species in the North Atlantic
<p>A total of 495 individuals from a guild of 14 species (fishes, squids and crustaceans) were sampled along the west and south Iberia (Portuguese coast) aboard a research vessel during 2014, 2016 and 2017. Two seasonal oceanographic surveys were conducted each year to sample pelagic mid-trophic level species during spring and autumn. Specimens were captured with trawl hauls, and information on date, time, position of capture (latitude and longitude) and depth (m) were recorded. The body mass (g) and total length (in fishes; mm), mantle length (in squids; mm) or carapace width (in crustaceans; mm) were recorded for each individual. Stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) were analysed in the muscle of each individual. Lipids were removed from samples by successive rinses in a 2:1 chloroform–methanol solution. More details of the methodology can be found in:</p> <p>Ceia FR, Cherel Y, Silva AV, Garrido S, Angélico MM, da Silva JM, Laranjeiro MI, Ramos JA (2023) Drivers of niche partitioning in a community of mid-trophic level epipelagic species in the North Atlantic.

Magnetic and stable isotope data from PLG Core
<p>The Poggio le Guaine core was designed to provide a high-resolution age model and a high-resolution relative magnetic paleointensity reference curve for the Aptian-Albian interval of the long normal Cretaceous superchron. The PLG drill hole cored the uppermost Barremian-lowermost Cenomanian succession of the Umbria-Marche Basin deposited in the southern margin of the central-western Tethys Ocean. These pelagic sediments formed following the lithification of the nannofossil-planktonic foraminiferal ooze deposited well above the calcite compensation depth at middle to lower bathyal depths (1000-1500 m) and at ~20°N paleolatitude. The Poggio le Guaine drill site (lat. 43°32'42.72"N; long.12°32'40.92"E) is located on the Monte Nerone ridge at 888 m abovensea level, 6 km west of the town of Cagli (Regione Marche, Italy). Discrete ~8 cm<sup>3</sup> cubic samples were then cut from the center of the split working halve for paleomagnetic analyses (MS and ARM). A total amount of 1227 cubic samples were collected along the studied portion of the PLG core (from 96.02 to 60.00 m; average sampling resolution of ~3 cm). A total of 355 paleomagnetic cubic samples were also used to measure the stable isotopes (δ<sup>18</sup>O and δ<sup>13</sup>C) with a ~10 cm resolution. Our objectives with these data are: (i) to propose a cyclostratigraphic framework for the PLG section using high-resolution magnetic susceptibility (MS), anhysteretic remanent magnetisation (ARM), δ<sup>18</sup>O, and δ<sup>13</sup>C data to provide better constraints for the Aptian climato-chronostratigraphic framework; and (ii) to discuss the impact of the proposed framework on the main events of the Aptian and the Cretaceous time scale.</p>
A global synthesis of high-resolution stable isotope data from benthic foraminifera of the last deglaciation
<p>In paleoceanography, carbon and oxygen stable isotope ratios from benthic foraminifera are used as tracers of physical and biogeochemical properties of the deep ocean. We present the first version of the Ocean Carbon Cycling working group database, of stable isotope ratios of oxygen and carbon from benthic foraminifera from deep ocean sediment cores from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 23-20 ky before present (BP)) to the Holocene (<10 ky BP) with a particular focus on the early last deglaciation (20-15 ky BP). It includes 287 globally distributed coring sites, with metadata, isotopic and chronostratigraphic information, and age models. A quality check was performed for all data and age models. Sites with at least millennial resolution were preferred, because the main goal is to resolve ocean changes associated with the last deglaciation on at least millennial timescales. Software tools were produced to access and analyze the data, and are included with this publication. Deep water mass structure as well as differences between the early deglaciation and LGM are captured by the data in the compilation, even though its coverage is still sparse in many ocean regions. We find high correlations among time series calculated with different age models at sites that allow such analysis. The database provides a useful dynamical approach to map physical and biogeochemical changes of the ocean throughout the last deglaciation.</p>

Water chemistry data including nitrate stable isotopes sampled from zero-tension lysimeters in an Iowa corn-soybean field in 2017 and 2018
These data were used in the manuscript titled "Mechanisms underlying episodic nitrate and phosphorus leaching from poorly drained agricultural soils" published in the Journal of Environmental Quality. We measured nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate concentrations in zero-tension lysimeters installed along a topographic gradient in a corn and soybean field in north-central Iowa, USA, during 2017 and 2018. We measured nitrate stable isotope compositions in a subset of lysimeter samples. Concentrations of nitrate, ammonium, and ferrous and ferric iron were measured in periodic soil extractions co-located with the lysimeters.
Stable isotope and conservative tracer data used to estimate uptake of stream water dissolved organic carbon (DOC) through a whole-stream addition of a ¹³C-DOC tracer coupled with laboratory measurements of bioavailability of the tracer and stream water DOC using lability profiling with bioreactors
We performed a whole-stream addition of a ¹³C-DOC tracer and made laboratory measurements of the biological availability of the tracer as well as stream water DOC. The study was performed in October 2002 in a 1.27 km stretch of the third-order White Clay Creek in southeastern Pennsylvania. The tracer was prepared as a cold-water leachate of ¹³C-labeled tulip poplar saplings and it was added to the stream along with sodium bromide, a conservative tracer, over a 2-h period. Stream water samples were collected at 8 downstream stations over an 8-h period, filtered, and analyzed for concentrations of bromide and DOC. DOC was measured by Pt-catalyzed, persulfate oxidation, Br- was analyzed by ion chromatography, and C isotope samples were rotary evaporated, acidified, lyophilized, combusted, and the CO₂ analyzed with an elemental analyzer interfaced with an isotope ratio mass spectrometer. Lability profiling of the ¹³C-DOC tracer and stream water DOC were performed with a series of plug-flow bioreactors of increasing empty-bed contact times with the concentration of biodegradable DOC operationally defined as the difference between the DOC concentrations in the influent and effluent waters of the bioreactors. The bioreactor measurements were performed 2 days after the whole-stream release. Data were analyzed to estimate the uptake of stream water DOC associated with labile and semi-labile fraction of biodegradable DOC. These data have been previously used in a 2008 publication in Freshwater Biology, doi:10.1111/j.1365-2427.2007.01941.x.
Stable Isotope Data for Small Pelagic Fishes across the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf from 2013-2015
These data represent the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope signatures of small pelagic fishes across the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf as reported by Suca, J.J., et al. (2018) Feeding dynamics of Northwest Atlantic small pelagic fishes. Progress in Oceanography, 165, 52-62, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pocean.2018.04.014. The five species of fish in this dataset represent a subset of the species collected in bottom trawls conducted by the NOAA NEFSC Ecosystems Survey Branch from Cape Hatteras to the Gulf of Maine for years 2013-2015. Sampling occurred in the Spring and Fall seasons. Sections of dorsal musculature were analyzed for carbon and nitrogen isotopes using mass spectrometry. Carbon-to-nitrogen isotopic ratios were reported along with the isotopic signatures for carbon and nitrogen respectively. Additionally, a lipid-corrected carbon signature was calculated for the fish muscle tissue. The dataset was supplemented with geospatial and temporal information from NOAA Fisheries trawl databases.

Red-footed and masked boobies stable isotope data
<p>Animals that co-occur in a region (sympatry) may share the same environment (syntopy), and niche differentiation is expected among closely related species competing for resources. The masked booby (<em>Sula dactylatra</em>) and smaller congeneric red-footed booby (<em>Sula sula</em>) share breeding grounds. In addition to the inter-specific size difference, females of both species are also larger than the respective males (reversed sexual size dimorphism). Although both boobies consume similar prey, sometimes in mixed-species flocks, each species and sex may specialize in terms of their diet or foraging habitats. We examined inter- and intra-specific differences in isotopic values (δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N) in these pelagically feeding booby species during the incubation period at Clarion Island, Mexico, to quantify the degrees of inter- and intra-specific niche partitioning throughout the annual cycle. During incubation, both species preyed mainly on flyingfish and squid, but masked boobies had heavier food loads than red-footed boobies. There was no overlap in isotopic niches between masked and red-footed boobies during breeding (determined from whole blood), but there was a slight overlap during the non-breeding period (determined from body feathers). Female masked boobies had a higher trophic position than conspecific males during breeding; however, no such pattern was detected in red-footed boobies. These results provide evidence of inter- and intra-specific niche partitioning in these tropical seabird species, particularly during the breeding period and in the more dimorphic species. Our results suggest that these closely related species use different strategies to cope with the same tropical marine environment.</p>
