Health and condition in fish: the influence of lipids on membrane competency and immune response (2009, background): “Variations in the HUFA content of algae (i.e., availability of different taxa for consumption) can induce up to an eightfold difference in the PUFA concentration of the herbivore Daphnia pulex (Brett et al. 2006) .”
Seasonal shifts in the diet of lake zooplankton revealed by phospholipid fatty acid analysis (2009, background): “investigations (Kainz, Arts & Mazumder, 2004; Brett et al., 2006; Perga et al., 2006).”
Fatty acid composition as biomarkers of freshwater microalgae: analysis of 37 strains of microalgae in 22 genera and in seven classes (2013, methodology): “2), which makes them much better diets than cyanobacteria for cladocerans (Brett et al. 2006, 2009b, Burns et al. 2011).”
Lipid and Fatty Acid Compositions of Mytilus galloprovincialis Cultured in the Mar Grande of Taranto (Southern Italy): Feeding Strategies and Trophic Relationships (2010, result): “In addition, Brett et al. (2006) reported a pattern of FAs in cyanophytes similar to that observed in this study for M. galloprovincialis, which suggests that M. galloprovincialis also feeds on cyanophytes.”
Diet-specific biomarkers show that high-quality phytoplankton fuels herbivorous zooplankton in large boreal lakes (2014, background): “The FA profiles of Daphnia have been shown clearly to reflect that of their phytoplanktonic (Brett et al., 2006) and bacterial (Taipale et al., 2012) diets.”
Combined effects of food quality and temperature on somatic growth and reproduction of two freshwater cladocerans (2009, background): “Although there is still little known about the physiological role of this n-3 PUFA, SDA is retained in daphnids when supplied by diet (Brett et al. 2006); consequently, the higher diet supply of SDA by Cryptomonas sp. may, in concert with EPA, have favored higher clutch sizes in both cladocerans at…”
A comparison of the trophic transfer of fatty acids in freshwater plankton by cladocerans and calanoid copepods (2011, methodology): “Based on a previous study (Brett et al., 2006) and preliminary multivariate analyses of our data, nine categories of the FAs were used to compare the FA composition of zooplankton and their food.”
Cyanobacteria as a carbon source for zooplankton in eutrophic Lake Taihu, China, measured by 13C labeling and fatty acid biomarkers (2012, background): “This fatty-acid trophic marker approach (FATM) is based on the conservative incorporation of FA from the food source into primary consumers, such as zooplankton (Dalsgaard et al. 2003; Brett et al. 2006).”
The Importance of Phytoplankton Biomolecule Availability for Secondary Production (2017, background): “Based on the previous studies (e.g., Brett et al., 2006; Hessen, 2008; Martin-Creuzburg et al., 2009; Ravet et al., 2010; Taipale et al., 2011, 2014, 2015), we expected phosphorus, ω3 FAs and sterols being the most important biomolecules for Daphnia performance.”
