• Lipid biomarkers indicate different ecological niches and trophic relationships of the Arctic hyperiid amphipods Themisto abyssorum and T.libellula (2002, background): “Together, both moieties constituted nearly 55% of all fatty acids (Scott et al. 1999; Dahl et al. 2000).”
• Diet of northern bottlenose whales inferred from fatty-acid and stable-isotope analyses of biopsy samples (2001, background): “Similarly, no other prey species have yet been recorded with a fatty-acid signature similar to that of bottlenose whales (e.g., with high 20:1 and 22:1 isomers but low 20:5n–3 and 22:6n–3; Dahl et al. 2000; S.J. Iverson, personal observation).”
• Feeding ecology of eastern North Pacific killer whales Orcinus orca from fatty acid, stable isotope, and organochlorine analyses of blubber biopsies (2005, background): “Fatty acid signature analysis has been used to study the diet of a number of marine mammal species, e.g. belugas Delphinapterus leucas (Dahl et al. 2000), and harbor seals Phoca vitulina richardsi (Iverson et al. 1997).”
• Lipid biomarkers and trophic linkages between ctenophores and copepods in Svalbard waters (2002, background): “…statistical techniques to investigate the foraging ecology of marine mammals (Iverson 1997a,b, Grahl-Nielsen & Mjaavatten 1991, 1995, Smith et al. 1997, Brown et al. 1999, Dahl et al. 2000, Kirsch et al. 2000, Walton et al. 2000), birds (Raclot et al. 1998) and fish (Kirsch et al. 1998).”
• Evaluating quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA) using harbour seals Phoca vitulina richardsi in captive feeding studies (2008, methodology): “Fatty acid techniques have been used qualitatively to indicate temporal or geographical variation in diet for a variety of cetaceans (Dahl et al. 2000, Hooker et al. 2001, Samuel & Worthy 2004, Herman et al. 2005, Ruchonnet et al. 2006), pinnipeds (Smith et al. 1996, Iverson et al. 1997, Lea et al.…”
• Lipids and stable isotopes in common eider, black-legged kittiwake and northern fulmar: a trophic study from an Arctic fjord (2003, methodology): “Different multivariate statistical methods have been introduced to assist in studying this phenomenon (Grahl-Nielsen & Mjaavatten 1991, Iverson 1993, Smith et al. 1997, Raclot et al. 1998, Grahl-Nielsen 1999, Dahl et al. 2000, Budge et al. 2002).”
• Phylogenetic, ecological, and ontogenetic factors influencing the biochemical structure of the blubber of odontocetes (2007, background): “condition, in addition to taxonomic and geographic associations (LitchWeld et al. 1975; Koopman et al. 1996, 2003; Dahl et al. 2000; Koopman 2001; Krahn et al. 2004; Samuel and Worthy 2004).”

• The importance of tidewater glaciers for marine mammals and seabirds in Svalbard, Norway (2014, background): “…plum at the glacier front are all very lipid rich (Falk-Petersen et al., 2000, 2009; Scott et al., 1999), and are valuable high energy food (Falk-Petersen et al., 1990) for fi sh, seabirds and mammals (Dahl et al., 2000, 2003; Wold et al., 2011) that are found foraging at the tidal glacier fronts.”
