On the Effect of Planetary Stable Isotope Compositions on Growth and Survival of Terrestrial Organisms.

Isotopic compositions of reactants affect the rates of chemical and biochemical reactions. Usually it is assumed that heavy stable isotope enrichment leads to progressively slower reactions. Yet the effect of stable isotopes may be nonlinear, as exemplified by the "isotopic resonance" phen...
