Warming advances top-down control and reduces producer biomass in a freshwater plankton community (2017, background): “Such differences in stoichiometric responses of phytoplankton communities to warming may result from the presence of grazers (Biermann et al. 2015), as consumer-driven nutrient recycling may alter phytoplankton carbon:nutrient ratios (Elser and Urabe 1999, Urabe et al. 2002).”
Experimental evidence for alternative stable equilibria in a benthic pond food web (2003, background): “Similarly, I manipulated nutrients (N and P) so as to maintain ratios constant, whereas variation in nutrient ratios, as well as light, can have profound effects on the nature of the interactions between aquatic herbivores and their algal food resources (e.g. Urabe et al. 2002 ).”
Recent advances in ecological stoichiometry: insights for population and community ecology (2005, background): “Laboratory studies have demonstrated that this facilitating mechanism can increase reproductive rates of Daphnia (Sommer 1992) and promote the coexistence of two competing Daphnia species (Urabe et al. 2002a).”
Establishing reliable minimum count sizes for cladoceran subfossils sampled from lake sediments (2010, background): “cycling in freshwaters (Järvinen and Salonen 1998; Hudson et al. 1999; Urabe et al. 2002) and as sentinels of environmental change (Jeppesen et al.”
Stoichiometrically Explicit Food Webs: Feedbacks between Resource Supply, Elemental Constraints, and Species Diversity (2009, background): “For instance, in a mesocosm experiment, Daphnia dominated high-nutrient environments where the stoichiometric quality of autotrophs was higher (Hall et al. 2004; see also Urabe et al. 2002b).”
Ecological Stoichiometry as an Integrative Framework in Stream Fish Ecology (2010, background): “Invertebrate grazers in lakes (e.g., Urabe et al. 2002; Liess et al. 2006) and streams (Evans-White and Lamberti 2005) generally enhance dissolved nutrient concentrations and algal nutrient content.”
Ecological stoichiometry: An elementary approach using basic principles (2013, background): “…(Loladze et al. 2004; Hall 2009), a prediction supported by experimental evidence in which improved stoichiometric food quality via nutrient recycling by consumers subsequently promoted coexistence of two consumer species rather than competitive exclusion of inferior species (Urabe et al. 2002).”
Temperature and the chemical composition of poikilothermic organisms (2003, background): “Under conditions where stoichiometric imbalance is strong (food quality is poor), herbivores may not be in competition with each other, but rather may be involved in intra- and interspecific facilitation because their collective nutrient recycling tends to raise the nutrient content of their food ba”
