The nature of nutrition: a unifying framework (2011, background): “Denno and Fagan (Denno and Fagan 2003; Fagan and Denno 2004) concluded from these trends in body elemental composition that carnivorous arthropods are nitrogen (protein) limited.”
Interactions between a hunting spider and a web‐builder: consequences of intraguild predation and cannibalism for prey suppression (2004, background): “Notably, such discrepancies between the nitrogen content of potential herbivorous prey and intraguild prey such as Grammonota are thought to promote intraguild predation (Fagan et al., 2002; Denno & Fagan, 2003).”
THE EVOLUTION OF OMNIVORY IN HETEROPTERAN INSECTS (2003, background): “Studies of the evolution of omnivory, in contrast, are almost nonexistent in the literature (but see Cooper 2002, Denno and Fagan 2003, Diehl 2003).”
Are you what you eat? Physiological constraints on organismal stoichiometry in an elementally imbalanced world (2005, unknown): “Elemental constraints on organisms can, in turn, alter the dynamics of populations (Elser et al. 1998, Chen et al. 2004), inter-specific interactions in food webs (DeMott and Gulati 1999, Denno and Fagan 2003) and key processes in ecosystems (Sterner et al. 1997, Cebrian 1999).”
Recent advances in ecological stoichiometry: insights for population and community ecology (2005, background): “Indeed, disparities in N:C between consumers and prey have suggested that terrestrial arthropod consumers that frequently show omnivory may be nitrogen-limited (Denno and Fagan 2003, Fagan and Denno 2004).”
The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and perspectives (2011, background): “…are usually nitrogen-limited, can increase their nitrogen consumption by expanding their diet to include other N-rich predators, suggesting that the divergence in nutrient stoichiometries between herbivores and predators is an important factor in the evolution of omnivores (Denno and Fagan 2003).”
Feeding guilds in Collembola based on nitrogen stable isotope ratios (2005, background): “Recent studies suggest that soil arthropods, which are frequently nitrogen-limited, can enhance their nitrogen intake by broadening their diet to include animal prey (Dennon and Fagan, 2003).”
Balancing of protein and lipid intake by a mammalian carnivore, the mink, Mustela vison (2009, background): “Insectivorous predators experience variation in nitrogen content of potential prey from 5.7% to 13.0% (Fagan et al. 2002; Denno & Fagan 2003) and in lipid content from less than 5% to more than 56% (Dimmitt & Ruibal 1980; Barker et al. 1998; Hahn 2005; Raubenheimer et al. 2007).”
Bottom-up trophic cascades and material transfer in terrestrial food webs (2005, background): “Indeed, it is known that the amount of nitrogen in the resources is an important factor limiting survival and growth of several herbivores and predators (Mattson 1980; Denno and Fagan 2003).”
Detritivory: stoichiometry of a neglected trophic level (2008, background): “This mirrors what we know about the stoichiometry of the resources that these groups of consumers use (Sterner and Elser 2002; Denno and Fagan 2003), and hence supports the idea that consumer N is at least partially driven by resource quality.”
Diet influences mate choice selectivity in adult female wolf spiders (2008, background): “In addition, it has been suggested that predatory arthropods such as spiders are frequently nutrient limited in nature (Denno and Fagan, 2003; Fagan and Denno, 2004) and that food quantity is also often limited (Wise, 1993; Wise, 2006).”
