UWYOSIF is a key part of providing cutting edge analyses to the University of Wyoming and beyond.
Carbonates, components of rock, found in sediments from the Andes were collected and analyzed. The stable isotope signatures of carbon and oxygen help reveal the history of uplift in the Andes.
Stable isotope nitrogen analysis of sage-grouse chick feathers revealed how early diet influences growth, with greater plant-derived nitrogen linked to heavier chicks and improved early development.

Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values from coyote whiskers show that most coyotes in the area rely on moose. The attacks were linked to unusual ecological conditions and not habituation to humans.
