Bioconversion of fatty acids at the basis of marine food webs: insights from a compound-specific stable isotope analysis (2012, background): “Combining FA and stable isotope analyses has proven to be a helpful approach to identifing major sources of organic matter which contribute to the diet of marine benthic invertebrates (Kiyashko et al. 1998, Kharlamenko et al. 2001, 2008, El-Sabaawi et al. 2009).”
Are spatial variations in the diets of hydrothermal fauna linked to local environmental conditions (2009, methodology): “Ground samples were re-suspended in distilled water, shaken for 5 min, centrifuged and the supernatant discarded to fully remove the sulfate present in the seawater (Kharlamenko et al. 2001).”
Trophic importance of diatoms in an intertidal Zostera noltii seagrass bed: Evidence from stable isotope and fatty acid analyses (2011, neutral): “In contrast, 18:2(n-6) and 18:3(n-3) FAs are labile and degrade quickly (Nichols et al., 1982; Kharlamenko et al., 2001); they are therefore good markers of fresh Z. noltii material.”
Carbon and nitrogen cycling on intertidal mudflats of a temperate Australian estuary. III. Sources of organic matter (2004, background): “The PUFA 22:6(n-3) was also clustered on the periphery of the algal markers, most probably reflecting the fact that this fatty acid is produced by both microalgae (Volkman et al. 1989) and sediment infauna (Kharlamenko et al. 2001).”
Trophic ecology of green sea turtles in a highly urbanized bay: Insights from stable isotopes and mixing models (2011, neutral): “Since seagrass beds in coastal waters provide critical habitat and shelter for invertebrates and fish, including a variety of marine snails (Kharlamenko et al., 2001;Orth et al., 1984), it is likely that conservation of this habitat typewould have broader value formany different species in addition ”
Trophic interactions in Zostera marina beds along the Swedish coast (2008, background): “Stable-isotope studies have been carried out to investigate trophic interactions in seagrass communities (Davenport & Bax 2002, Smit et al. 2006, Tomas et al. 2006), but there appear to be few of this type of study in temperate eelgrass beds (Kharlamenko et al. 2001, Fredriksen et al. 2004).”
Marine diatoms sustain growth of bivalves in a Mediterranean lagoon (2012, background): “Given that fatty acids are incorporated largely unaltered into the reserve lipids of primary consumers like oysters and mussels, they generally reflect the fatty acid profiles of the food consumed and could therefore reveal useful information about trophic sources (Allan et al., 2010; Dalsgaard et a”
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 FA is also frequently present in great quantities, being derived from chain elongation of the phytoplankton 16:1ω7 FA (e.g., Graeve et al. 1997, Falk-Petersen et al. 2000, Kharlamenko et al. 2001).”
Trophic ecology of Sargassum-associated fishes in the Gulf of Mexico determined from stable isotopes and fatty acids (2006, background): “…additional discriminatory power of source material and finer resolution of prey types than bulk isotopic analysis, and has been used recently in conjunction with carbon and nitrogen isotopes to investigate food web structure (Kiyashko et al. 1998, Kharlamenko et al. 2001, Graeve et al. 2002).”
Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs (2012, methodology): “…field studies using FAs to identify diets of estuarine consumers have relied entirely on comparisons between consumers and their potential food sources (e.g. Kharlamenko et al. 2001, Alfaro et al. 2006), without controlled feeding studies that demonstrate trophic transfer of certain indicator FAs.”
Small-scale spatial variability of food partitioning between cultivated oysters and associated suspension-feeding species, as revealed by stable isotopes (2007, methodology): “Although several studies have already shown that isotopic signatures of resources and consumers may vary greatly over time (Rolff 2000), evidence of spatial variation is scarce because many studies are limited to a single sampling site (e.g. Kharlamenko et al. 2001, Riera et al. 2002).”
Tracing aquatic food webs using fatty acids: from qualitative indicators to quantitative determination (2009, background): “One particularly important area that should continue to be explored is combining FA with stable isotope analyses of tissues or of individual FA (e.g., Kharlamenko et al. 2001 ; Hebert et al. 2006).”
Addressing assumptions: variation in stable isotopes and fatty acids of marine macrophytes can confound conclusions of food web studies (2013, background): “The literature often impli - citly assumes that the temporal variation of food sources is not enough to significantly affect interpretation of MSI and FA signature analyses (Kharlamenko et al. 2001, Guest et al. 2008, Allan et al. 2010).”
Carbon sources and trophic structure in an eelgrass Zostera marina bed, based on stable isotope and fatty acid analyses (2008, neutral): “Kharlamenko et al. (2001) combined stable isotope and fatty acid analyses to study an eelgrass food web in a semienclosed bay in Siberia.”
