Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “…and growth rate require particular supply (i.e. high food C:N with low N:P, extremely low food levels), the close correlation between RNA and P contents indicates that ecosystem processes influence the expression of rRNA synthesising genes (Elser et al., 2000a, 2003; Sterner and Elser, 2002).”
N : P ratios influence litter decomposition and colonization by fungi and bacteria in microcosms (2009, background): “2004), our results are consistent with the idea that cellulose decomposition at high nutrient supply levels was determined by the growth rate of bacteria with high RNA content ('growth rate hypothesis', Elser et al. 2000; Elser et al. 2003).”

The Multidimensional Stoichiometric Niche (2017, background): “As energy and material acquisition, storage and exchange are essential to life, and because the chemical composition of an organism has been shown to shape its ecology, it has been argued that biochemistry represents a key aspect of a species’ niche (Sterner and Elser, 2002; Elser et al., 2003; News”

Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry of stream sediments with comparison to terrestrial soils (2011, background): “The threshold element ratio is the elemental C:N or C:P ratio at which control of metabolism switches from energy supply (C) to nutrient supply (N, P) (Sterner and Elser 2002; Elser et al. 2003; Frost et al. 2006; Doi et al. 2010).”
The C:N:P stoichiometry of autotrophs: Theory and observations (2004, background): “Higher growth rates are coupled not only to higher N : C and P : C but also to lower N : P in many heterotrophic organisms, including bacteria and arthropods (Elser et al. 2003; Makino et al. 2003).”
Are you what you eat? Physiological constraints on organismal stoichiometry in an elementally imbalanced world (2005, background): “…including bacteria, insects, algae and crustaceans, show strong connections between growth rate, biomass P and RNA content (Elser et al. 2000), although such connections may be broken under conditions where P is not limiting the growth of heterotrophs (Elser et al. 2003, Makino and Cotner 2004).”
Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry (2010, background): “Metabolic rate is a function of cellular biochemistry , which carries with it a stoichiometric burden in its elemental requirements (Geider and LaRoche, 2002; Elser et al., 2003; Flynn et al., 2009).”

Increased temperature alters feeding behavior of a generalist herbivore (2013, background): “Similarly, rising temperatures can also increase ectotherm growth rates (Gillooly et al. 2001), potentially escalating the demand for phosphorus-rich materials like RNA and ATP, both of which are required for cellular growth (Elser et al. 2003, Wojewodzic et al. 2011).”
