The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A fundamental dichotomy in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid abundance between and within marine and terrestrial ecosystems (2017, background): “Tropical organisms tend to possess FA profiles that are somewhat different from those of temperate and polar regions (Ahlgren et al. 2009; Iverson 2009).”
The importance of high-quality algal food sources in stream food webs - current status and future perspectives (2016, background): “Insects may need more EPA and ARA for growth and reproduction than DHA (Ahlgren et al., 2009).”
High-quality algae attached to leaf litter boost invertebrate shredder growth (2016, background): “Food sources with lower ω3 ∶ω6 ratios could restrict invertebrate somatic growth and reproduction (Ahlgren et al. 2009).”
