Researchers in Brazil have utilized zinc isotopes in stingray muscle tissue to gain a more nuanced understanding of their diet, habitat use, and physiological processes. Alongside traditional carbon and nitrogen isotopes, zinc isotopes revealed species-specific patterns that offered insights beyond what carbon and nitrogen alone could provide. This study highlights how different isotopic tracers can capture distinct ecological processes, offering a complementary lens for understanding marine ecosystems. AI
