摘要

The stable isotope composition of carbon and nitrogen in feces can be a useful tool for reconstructing diet. To examine whether the isotopic composition of feces reflect those of diet, we determined the fractionation of u15N and u13C along the digestive tracts of several species of small mammals. There were significant differences in the ^du15N values of digesta in different compartments of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, with consistent enrichment of u15N in the stomach, intestine, and cecum, and the depletion of u15N in the colon (i.e., feces). Although feces had lower ^du15N values than digesta in the cecum, feces of small mammals were significantly more enriched in u15N (by ^62.5ppm) than diet. The mechanisms causing this enrichment in the GI tract may arise from the operation of different biochemical pathways within the different GI compartments.
