Use of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in insect trophic ecology (2015, background): “For example, chironomid larvae in lakes can have δ13C values as low as −64‰ (Kiyashko et al. 2001; Grey et al. 2004).”
Seasonal changes in the stable isotope values of lake-dwelling chironomid larvae in relation to feeding and life cycle variability (2004, background): “The fourth instar larvae were significantly 13 C-depleted relative to the smaller instars, consistent with previous reports that dC of fourth instar chironomid larvae is negatively related to larval dry weight (Grey et al., 2004).”
Evaluating the utility of stable isotope analyses of archived freshwater sample materials (2008, background): “Moreover, many benthic macroinvertebrates are opportunistic and generalised feeders and intraspecific variability in isotopic compositions may be high ( Grey et al., 2004; Jones & Grey, 2004).”
Effect of nutrition on fatty acid profiles of riverine, lacustrine, and aquaculture-raised salmonids of pre-alpine habitats (2010, background): “Alternatively, nitrification/denitrification processes by methanotrophic bacteria, yielding even negative d15N values (Grey et al., 2004), may also have caused such a large d15N difference between macrozoobenthos and rainbow trout.”
