• Characterizing dietary variability and trophic positions of coastal calanoid copepods: insight from stable isotopes and fatty acids (2009, background): “However, omnivory also affects foodchain length, and can change the quality of food available to higher consumers (Hairston and Hairston 1993; St John et al. 2001; Post and Takimoto 2007).”
• Enhanced bioaccumulation of mercury in deep-sea fauna from the Bay of Biscay (north-east Atlantic) in relation to trophic positions identified by analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (2012, unknown): “Then, 0.40 ± 0.05 mg subsamples of lipid-free powder were weighed in tin cups for SIA.”
• Hydrogeomorphology and river impoundment affect food-chain length of diverse Neotropical food webs (2008, background): “This may occur via two proximate structural mechanisms: 1) the addition or removal of intermediate predators, or 2) a change in the relative importance of omnivory (Post and Takimoto 2007).”
