Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of three types of oyster tissue in an impacted estuary (2006, background): “1997; Sauriau and Kang, 2000; Melville and Connolly, 2003), suggesting that it is largely derived from terrestrial sources (Simenstad and Wissmar, 1985; Riera and Richard, 1996, 1997) and almost certainly in the form of detritus (Haines, 1977; Mann, 1988; Riera, 1998).”
Feeding ecology of red snapper Lutjanus campechanus in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2008, background): “Sauriau & Kang (2000) found average POM δ13C values of –22.2‰ and δ15N of 5.0‰.”
Isotopic evidence for phytoplankton as a major food source for macrobenthos on an intertidal sandflat in Ariake Sound, Japan (2005, methodology): “Even if these techniques were applicable, obtained information would be limited to food items that had just been ingested, and food assimilated over a longer period could not be determined (Sauriau & Kang 2000).”
Isotope trophic-step fractionation of suspension-feeding species: Implications for food partitioning in coastal ecosystems (2007, background): “This may have important ecological implications because the contribution of microphytobenthos is strongly debated in shellfish ecosystems (Sauriau and Kang, 2000; Kang et al., 2006), and benthic diatoms appeared here to be much less important than expected in these ecosystems.”
Microphytobenthos seasonality determines growth and reproduction in intertidal bivalves (2006, background): “Sauriau & Kang (2000) proposed the important contribution of microphytobenthos to the growth and secondary production of intertidal suspensionfeeding bivalves, in contradiction to the general paradigm that marine phytoplankton is a major component of their diet.”
Diet of intertidal bivalves in the Ría de Arosa (NW Spain): evidence from stable C and N isotope analysis (2003, methodology): “The diet of intertidal bivalves in European estuaries has been examined using gut content analysis (Ivell 1981; Kamermans 1994) and, more recently, stable isotope analysis (Riera and Richard 1997; Kang et al. 1999; Herman et al. 2000; Sauriau and Kang 2000 ).”
Depth variation in terrestrial particulate organic matter exploitation by marine coastal benthic communities off the Rhone River delta (NW Mediterranean) (2004, result): “This observation was consistent with the well-documented bivalve exploitation of marine microalgae in preference to other seston particles (Riera & Richard 1996, Sauriau & Kang 2000, Raikow & Hamilton 2001).”
