Characterizing dietary variability and trophic positions of coastal calanoid copepods: insight from stable isotopes and fatty acids (2009, background): “We found a significant correlation between FATMS and stable isotopes, in agreement with other studies that have used this combined approach (Nyssen et al. 2005; Alfaro et al. 2006 ).”
Organic carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems : a review (2008, background): “Mangrove leaves also include the longchain fatty acids (LCFA) 24:0, 26:0 and 28:0, which are typical vascular plant markers (Alfaro et al., 2006; Hall et al., 2006; Meziane et al., 2007).”
Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs (2012, unknown): “…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.”
Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “…systems, predator/prey interactions and trophic connectivity have been effectively investigated at scales of meters to tens of kilometres through the use of gut content analyses, fatty acids, stable isotopes, and tracer studies (Guest et al., 2004; Alfaro et al., 2006; Wernberg et al., 2006).”
