Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs (2012, unknown): “The contributions of major microalgal taxa to benthic food webs are often estimated based on FA composition (Graeve et al. 2001, Howell et al. 2003, Guest et al. 2008).”
Lipid biomarkers reveal geographical differences in food supply to the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (Scleractinia) (2009, methodology): “…Prog Ser 397: 113–124, 2009 Freyella elegans, Brisingella coronata and Brisinga endecacnemos, which all contain high levels of PUFA as well as the copepod markers 20:1 and 22:1, suggesting a diet linked to the bentho-pelagic food web with copepods as an important prey item (Howell et al. 2003).”
Stable isotope and fatty acid tracers in energy and nutrient studies of jellyfish: a review (2008, methodology): “Multivariate methods are particularly useful when a study includes very large numbers of samples (such as occurs when sampling over multiple spatial and temporal scales), which can make it difficult to readily distinguish the fate of specific markers in the ecosystem (Howell et al., 2003; Meziane et”
Trophic position of Antarctic amphipods — enhanced analysis by a 2-dimensional biomarker assay (2005, unknown): “Although Graeve et al. (2002) suggested arachidonic acid as indicating a macroalgal origin; other authors have suspected protists in the sediment to be one of the sources of 20:4(n-6) (Bell & Sargent 1985, Fullarton et al. 1995, Howell et al. 2003).”
