Good food versus bad food: the role of sterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids in determining growth and reproduction of Daphnia magna (2009, background): “Becker and Boersma (2005) reported that even small amounts of ARA supplemented to an ARA-free diet significantly improved the growth of D. magna.”
Daphnia fatty acid composition reflects that of their diet (2006, background): “This concept has been most commonly applied to marine systems (Dalsgaard et al. 2003), but has also been applied to studies of freshwater streams (Desvilettes et al. 1997; Napolitano 1999; Heintz et al. 2004).”
Food quantity and quality regulation of trophic transfer between primary producers and a keystone grazer (Daphnia) in pelagic freshwater food webs (2007, background): “The concentration of EPA was higher in Daphnia eggs than in Daphnia somatic tissue in the study by Becker and Boersma (2005) , implying that the EPA required for egg production might be higher.”
Stoichiometrically Explicit Food Webs: Feedbacks between Resource Supply, Elemental Constraints, and Species Diversity (2009, background): “In principle, these niche axes could be expanded to incorporate other elements (e.g., nitrogen, selenium) and fatty acids that can also limit growth (Becker & Boersma 2005, Boersma & Stelzer 2000).”
