Abstract：
We present the first open-access, island-wide isotopic database (IsoMad) for modern biologically relevant materials collected on Madagascar within the past 150 years from both terrestrial and nearshore marine environments. Isotopic research on the island has increasingly helped with biological studies of endemic organisms, including evaluating foraging niches and investigating factors that affect the spatial distribution and abundance of species. The IsoMad database should facilitate future work by making it easy for researchers to access existing data (even for those who are relatively unfamiliar with the literature) and identify both research gaps and opportunities for using various isotope systems to answer research questions. We also hope that this database will encourage full data reporting in future publications.
摘要：
我们提出了第一个开放获取，全岛同位素数据库（IsoMad），用于在过去150年中从陆地和近岸海洋环境中在马达加斯加收集的现代生物相关材料。岛上的同位素研究越来越有助于地方生物的生物学研究，包括评估觅食生态位和调查影响物种空间分布和丰度的因素。IsoMad数据库应通过使研究人员轻松访问现有数据（即使对于那些相对不熟悉文献的人）并确定研究空白和使用各种同位素系统回答研究问题的机会来促进未来的工作。我们还希望该数据库将鼓励在未来出版物中提供完整的数据报告。
