“…Westernization and globalization tend to relate to increased consumption of foods containing corn [2,4]. Corn, a C4 plant, relates to high δ 13 C values [56,57]. Consequently, consuming corn-fed animals also increases the δ 13 C values in human hair.…”

“…The isotopic values of different elements (e.g., hydrogen, oxygen, and strontium) in foods and water vary geographically (Ehleringer et al, 2008;Bowen, 2010;Bataille and Bowen, 2012;Chesson et al, 2012). Such variation can be integrated into human and animal tissues, from which the isotopic values may be used to identify their regions of origin (West et al, 2010;Valenzuela et al, 2011;Hobson et al, 2012;Chesson et al, 2020). Some keratinous tissues, like hair and nail, preserve the regional isotopic values in time sequence, and may thus be used to reconstruct the travel history of individuals (Fraser et al, 2006;O'Brien and Wooller, 2007;Hobson et al, 2010;Remien et al, 2014).…”

“…Strontium isotope analysis is an emerging tool to identify the regions of origin of biological samples in archeology, paleoecology, and forensics (Font et al, 2012;Frei et al, 2015;Vautour et al, 2015;Chau et al, 2017;Chesson et al, 2020). It has the advantage of no detectable isotopic fractionation (of 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios) during biological processes, comparing to the light elements like carbon and oxygen (Bentley, 2006).…”

“…This field leverages rapid growth in isotopic and environmental geospatial data, supported by new data monitoring technologies, to enable spatial prediction of elemental isotope ratios in nature. The resulting data products constitute a geochemical “benchmark” that has been used to reconstruct migration patterns of animals and insects, 2,3 identify victims of violent crime, 4 and constrain the origin of illicit products 5 . Isoscapes models have also enabled a new generation of spatial biogeochemical research studies by providing spatially continuous predictions of isotope ratios of substrates or fluxes that can be used in mass balance analyses of the water cycle, 6 carbon cycle, 7 and nitrogen cycle, 8 among others.…”
