Biodiversity collections are experiencing a renaissance fueled by the intersection of informatics, emerging technologies, and the extended use and interpretation of specimens and archived databases. In this article, we explore the potential for transformative research in ecology integrating biodiversity collections, stable isotope analysis (SIA), and environmental informatics. Like genomic DNA, SIA provides a common currency interpreted in the context of biogeochemical principles. Integration of SIA data across collections allows for evaluation of long-term ecological change at local to continental scales. Challenges including the analysis of sparse samples, a lack of information about baseline isotopic composition, and the effects of preservation remain, but none of these challenges is insurmountable. The proposed research framework interfaces with existing databases and observatories to provide benchmarks for retrospective studies and ecological forecasting. Collections and SIA add historical context to fundamental questions in freshwater ecological research, reference points for ecosystem monitoring, and a means of quantitative assessment for ecosystem restoration.
生物多样性馆藏正经历一场复兴，这得益于信息学、新兴技术以及标本和存档数据库的广泛使用与解读的交叉融合。在本文中，我们探讨了整合生物多样性馆藏、稳定同位素分析（SIA）和环境信息学进行生态变革性研究的潜力。与基因组DNA一样，SIA提供了一种在生物地球化学原理背景下可解读的通用货币。跨馆藏整合SIA数据有助于在局部到大陆尺度上评估长期生态变化。虽然仍存在包括稀疏样本分析、缺乏基线同位素组成信息以及保存影响等挑战，但这些挑战都并非无法克服。所提出的研究框架与现有数据库和观测站相衔接，为回顾性研究和生态预测提供基准。馆藏和SIA为淡水生态研究的基本问题增添了历史背景，为生态系统监测提供了参考点，并为生态系统恢复提供了定量评估手段。
