• The Functional Significance of Ribosomal (r)DNA Variation: Impacts on the Evolutionary Ecology of Organisms (2005, background): “Because the associations of growth, RNA, and P in autotrophs have been covered extensively elsewhere (Frost et al. 2005, Geider & La Roche 2002, Sterner & Elser 2002), our emphasis in this section is on connections between these variables in metazoans, where the elemental composition of animal…”

• From Elements to Function: Toward Unifying Ecological Stoichiometry and Trait-Based Ecology (2017, background): “This elemental trait framework has already been successfully used to identify how resource imbalances affect basic physiological processes (Frost et al., 2005).”
• Diel phosphorus variation and the stoichiometry of ecosystem metabolism in a large spring-fed river (2013, background): “Production and maintenance of stoichiometrically homeostatic biomass, in turn, dictates that organisms acquire elements from the environment in particular proportions (Frost et al. 2005, Kerkhoff et al. 2005).”
• Recent advances in ecological stoichiometry: insights for population and community ecology (2005, background): “To date, many studies addressing the causes and consequences of elemental imbalances have focused on eco-physiology and life history traits at the level of the individual organism (Frost et al. 2005), but fewer studies have examined their consequences at population and community levels (reviewed by ”
• Plant nitrogen uptake drives rhizosphere bacterial community assembly during plant growth (2015, background): “Plant-microbe interactions undoubtedly influence soil stoichiometry (via nutrient mineralization and immobilization) throughout the growing season (Sterner and Elser, 2002; Hessen et al., 2004; Frost et al., 2005).”
• The Importance of Phytoplankton Biomolecule Availability for Secondary Production (2017, background): “In contrast, adequate uptake of phosphorus (P) is crucial for optimal somatic growth and reproduction of zooplankton (Hessen, 2008), and many studies have concluded reduced growth efficiency under P limitation (atomic C:P >300; Urabe et al., 1997; Boersma, 2000; Park et al., 2002; Sterner and Elser,”
• Can ecological stoichiometry help explain patterns of biological invasions (2010, background): “A key approach for understanding nutrient or energy limitation in consumers is the threshold elemental ratio (TER), the critical C:nutrient ratio above which a nutrient is limiting for growth (Frost 2005).”
• Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “, 2001), this increased metabolism must be matched with increased assimilation of nutrients to maintain positive growth or homeostasis (Frost et al., 2005).”
