Distribution and abundance of euphausiids and pelagic amphipods in Kongsfjorden, Isfjorden and Rijpfjorden (Svalbard) and changes in their relative importance as key prey in a warming marine ecosystem (2016, background): “Population and reproductive dynamics, life history and lipid composition are described elsewhere for the dominant euphausiid species, Thysanoessa inermis (Dalpadado and Skjoldal 1996; Cuzin-Roudy and Buchholz 1999; Hop et al. 2006) and the amphipod genus Themisto (Koszteyn et al. 1995; Auel et al. 2”
Seasonal changes in diets of seabirds in the North Water Polynya: a multiple-indicator approach (2008, background): “…interannual differences in prey usage (e.g. Walton & Pomeroy 2003), differences in foraging patterns of different populations (Smith et al. 1996, Iverson et al. 1997), and ecological niches (e.g. Auel et al. 2002), as well as inferring major contributors to diets (e.g. Hooker et al. 2001).”
Lipid biomarkers reveal geographical differences in food supply to the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (Scleractinia) (2009, background): “The geographical variation of Arctic amphipod species may relate to the feeding preference of certain species for calanoid copepods, while others prefer to feed upon omnivorous or carnivorous copepods found in greater abundance in deeper waters (Auel et al. 2002).”
Lipid storage in marine zooplankton (2006, background): “In addition to the copepods, most Arctic planktonic crustaceans, such as the amphipods Themisto libellula and T. abyssorum , have large lipid stores, up to 42%DM, 41 to 43% of them being wax esters (Auel et al. 2002).”
Lipid and Fatty Acid Compositions of Mytilus galloprovincialis Cultured in the Mar Grande of Taranto (Southern Italy): Feeding Strategies and Trophic Relationships (2010, background): “The 18:1ω7/18:1ω9 ratio was proposed as a biomarker for an herbivorous vs. a carnivorous diet (Graeve et al. 1997, Falk-Petersen et al. 2000, Auel et al. 2002).”
The paradox high zooplankton biomass-low vegetal particulate organic matter in high turbidity zones : What way for energy transfer? (2006, background): “, 2000); and the ratio 18:1(n-7) /18:1(n-9) which gives some information about the diet, since 18:1(n-7) reflects phytoplanktonic dietary input whereas 18:1(n-9) indicates animal dietary contribution (degree of carnivory) (Falk-Petersen et al., 2000; Auel et al., 2002).”
Trophic interactions of macro-zooplankton (krill and amphipods) in the Marginal Ice Zone of the Barents Sea (2008, background): “This study confirms the findings of other studies that have dealt with lipid biomarkers, in that adult T. libellula feed extensively on copepods (Auel et al., 2002; Dalsgaard et al., 2003 and references therein).”
