• The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and perspectives (2011, background): “Predators on average have a higher N content and lower C:N ratio than their potential herbivorous prey (Matsumura et al. 2004).”
• Recent advances in ecological stoichiometry: insights for population and community ecology (2005, background): “Arthropod omnivores can increase their growth by feeding on nitrogen-rich prey, although this is not always the case in nature (Matsumura et al. 2004).”
• Stoichiometry of actual vs. potential predator–prey interactions: insights into nitrogen limitation for arthropod predators (2004, background): “For example, arachnids (primarily spiders) comprise more than half of the predator species in the saltmarsh data set (Döbel & Denno 1994; Matsumura et al. 2004), but are poorly represented in the literature-compiled database.”
• Bottom-up trophic cascades and material transfer in terrestrial food webs (2005, background): “The nitrogen content increases (or the C:N ratio decreases) from lower to higher trophic levels in tritrophic systems (i.e. Nplants<<Nherbivores<Npredators; Fagan et al. 2002; Matsumura et al. 2004).”
• Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “Many predators are N limited and intraguild predation may allow them to increase their N intake and growth (Denno and Fagan, 2003; Fagan and Denno, 2004; Loranger et al., 2012; Matsumura et al., 2004).”
• Intraguild predation in raptor assemblages: A review (2008, background): “Finally, recent research suggests that consumption of species of higher trophic levels may yield different nutrients than predation upon species of lower trophic levels (Matsumura et al. 2004), adding a further dimension to the potential motivations and benefits for the killer.”
