Trophic interactions of macro-zooplankton (krill and amphipods) in the Marginal Ice Zone of the Barents Sea (2008, background): “M. longa is a deeper-living species than Calanus spp. (4100 m) and is known to be quite important, both in abundance and biomass in the central Arctic (Mumm et al., 1998).”
Essential Biomolecules in Food Webs (2019, background): “, 1997), and semi-quantitatively in food webs in marine pelagial (Dalsgaard et al., 2003) and benthos (Kelly and Scheibling, 2012).”
Trace me if you can: the use of intrinsic biogeochemical markers in marine top predators (2012, background): “Prey fatty acids are deposited into consumer adipose tissue with little modification and, in a predictable way, providing insights into the pathways of energy and nutrient transfer (Dalsgaard et al. 2003; Iverson 2009; Williams and Buck 2010).”
Autochthonous and allochthonous contributions to mesozooplankton diet in a tidal river and estuary: Integrating carbon isotope and fatty acid constraints (2009, background): “Assimilation efficiencies may indeed be fatty acid-specific, and de novo synthesis of (mostly C-20 and C-22) lipids has been reported for calanoid copepods (Dalsgaard et al. 2003).”
The importance of ice algae‐produced carbon in the central Arctic Ocean ecosystem: Food web relationships revealed by lipid and stable isotope analyses (2016, background): “Dinophyceae (simplified to dinoflagellates) are often more abundant in the water column and contain high amounts of the FA 22:6n-3 and C18 PUFAs (e.g., Dalsgaard et al. 2003).”
Distribution of lipids and fatty acids in corals by their taxonomic position and presence of zooxanthellae (2010, background): “Different food sources have a specific lipid composition (Dalsgaard et al. 2003).”
Daphnia fatty acid composition reflects that of their diet (2006, background): “Most of what is known about dietary impacts on zooplankton fatty acid composition is from the marine copepod literature (Dalsgaard et al. 2003).”
Lipids and life strategy of Arctic Calanus (2009, background): “The diatom FATM 16:1(n 7), 16PUFAs and 20:5(n 3) were very low (10 15”
Feeding and overwintering of Antarctic krill across its major habitats: The role of sea ice cover, water depth, and phytoplankton abundance (2014, methodology): “These fatty acids have a specific structural role in higher organisms but are not sufficiently synthesized within the body and have therefore to be taken up with the food (Dalsgaard et al. 2003).”
Diet-specific biomarkers show that high-quality phytoplankton fuels herbivorous zooplankton in large boreal lakes (2014, background): “Fatty acids are commonly used as trophic biomarkers (Dalsgaard et al., 2003), but are rarely used for quantitative estimation of consumer diets.”
Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs (2012, positive): “FA biosynthesis in heterotrophic bacteria produces oddnumbered and branched FAs such as 15:0, 17:0, 15:1, 17:1, and iso- and anteiso-branched SFAs (Dalsgaard et al. 2003).”
