Trophic interactions between two introduced suspension-feeders, Crepidula fornicata and Crassostrea gigas, are influenced by seasonal effects and qualitative selection capacity (2007, unknown): “Although previous studies have inferred a greater exploitation of microalgal sources during blooms (Page and Lastra, 2003), or the major exploitation of the predominant carbon sources available (Sarà et al.”
Phytoplankton and macrophyte contributions to littoral food webs in the Galician upwelling estimated from stable isotopes (2006, background): “These results contrast with those from studies in intertidal mudflats (Riera et al. 1999, Page & Lastra 2003), which concluded a dominant role of microphytobenthos in the diet of primary consumers in estuaries.”
Stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) and modelling as tools to estimate the trophic ecology of cultivated oysters in two contrasting environments (2007, background): “…oysters in European Atlantic estuaries has been investigated previously by use of natural stable isotopes (Riera and Richard 1997; Kang et al. 1999; Page and Lastra 2003; Piola et al. 2006); they all suggested that both PhyOM and MPB constituted most of the bivalves’ diets in intertidal areas,…”
Marine diatoms sustain growth of bivalves in a Mediterranean lagoon (2012, background): “…constitute most of the bivalve diet, with variation in their relative importance depending on the location and season (Dubois et al., 2007; Kang et al., 1999; Kang et al., 2006; Lefebvre et al., 2009; Malet et al., 2007; Marin-Leal et al., 2008; Page and Lastra, 2003; Riera and Richard, 1997).”
Stable isotope and fatty acid evidence for uptake of organic waste by green-lipped mussels Perna viridis in a polyculture fish farm system (2006, background): “Studies showed that mussels could utilize non-phytoplankton matter as food sources to meet part of their energy requirements, particularly when phytoplankton concentration was too low to provide an adequate food ration (Langdon & Newell 1990, Page & Lastra 2003, Wong & Levinton 2004).”
Isotopic evidence for phytoplankton as a major food source for macrobenthos on an intertidal sandflat in Ariake Sound, Japan (2005, background): “…some contribution of phytoplankton production to estuarine trophic structure (Sullivan & Moncreiff 1990, Deegan & Garritt 1997, Kang et al. 1999, 2003, Riera et al. 1999, Herman et al. 2000, Kurata et al. 2001, Chanton & Lewis 2002, Takai et al. 2002, Hart & Lovvorn 2003, Page & Lastra 2003).”
Microphytobenthos seasonality determines growth and reproduction in intertidal bivalves (2006, background): “Page & Lastra (2003) found that intertidal suspension feeding bivalves primarily use resuspended microphytobenthos for much of the year.”
Exploitation of natural food sources by two sympatric, invasive suspension-feeders: Crassostrea gigas and Crepidula fornicata (2007, background): “Currently, multiple natural stable isotope analyses are widely used in food web studies, notably to determine the food sources of suspension-feeders (e.g. Kang et al. 1999, Page & Lastra 2003), which are exposed to seasonal variations in food availability.”
