The distribution and isotopic composition (δC and δD) of lipids are proxies used to determinate paleoenvironmental conditions including precipitation regimes, vegetation changes and sources of organic matter, among others. This data article describes five datasets of distribution (-alkanes, fatty acids, -alkanols and sterols) and isotopic composition (-alkanes and fatty acids) of lipids determined in 50 samples from a gravity core (GeoB16202-2) retrieved on the continental slope off northeastern Brazil. The core site is influenced by the Parnaiba freshwater discharge, the North Brazil Current and by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Previous work focused on inorganic proxies in this core revealed important clues of climatic conditions during the Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1). The baseline dataset of molecular and isotopic proxies of the organic matter provided here are additional and/or complimentary evidences to help elucidate past climate change during the Quaternary in the Equatorial Atlantic, where less information is available in comparison to other regions in this ocean.

Retrospective datasets offer essential context for conservation by revealing species' ecological roles before industrial-era human impacts. We analysed isotopic compositions of pre-industrial and modern sea otters () to reconstruct pre-extirpation ecology and offer insights for management. Our study focuses on southeast Alaska (SEAK), where sea otters are recolonizing, and northern Oregon, where translocations are being considered.

The Southern California Bight is an ecologically important region for many local and migratory fauna. We combine bulk and compound-specific amino acid stable isotope measurements in the skeletons of proteinaceous octocorals with new regional ocean modeling system model output to explore biogeochemical changes at two locations within the Bight - Santa Cruz Basin and Santa Barbara Channel. Separated by the Channel Islands, these sites display distinct oceanographic regimes.

Compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) using liquid chromatography-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (LC-IRMS) is a powerful tool for determining the isotopic composition of carbon in analytes from complex mixtures. However, LC-IRMS methods are constrained to fully aqueous eluents. Previous efforts to overcome this limitation were unsuccessful, as the use of organic eluents in LC-IRMS was deemed impossible.
