Stable nitrogen isotope analysis of amino acids as a new tool to clarify complex parasite-host interactions within marine food webs

This study uses compound-specific stable isotope analysis to better understand parasite-host interactions in marine food webs by comparing isotopic signatures in parasites and hosts.

Impacts of host phylogeny, feeding styles, and parasite attachment site on isotopic discrimination in helminths infecting coral reef fish hosts.

This study examines isotopic discrimination factors in helminths of coral reef fish, finding that {Delta}15N varies with host phylogeny, attachment site, and host isotopic values, while {Delta}13C shows less consistent patterns.
