Lower trophic levels and detrital biomass control the Bay of Biscay continental shelf food web: Implications for ecosystem management (2011, methodology): “where Pi was the proportion by mass of prey species i in the diet and EDi, the energy density 291 of prey i (kJ∙kg; Spitz et al. (2010)).”
Prey preferences among the community of deep-diving odontocetes from the Bay of Biscay, Northeast Atlantic (2011, unknown): “Prey characteristics, such as habitat or quality, used to describe species foraging strategies were derived from the literature (e.g. Guerra, 1992; Quéro et al., 2003; Spitz et al., 2010b).”
Prey selection by the common dolphin: Fulfilling high energy requirements with high quality food (2010, background): “…the specific composition of its diets can change 73 significantly (Meynier et al., 2008), but, if the proximate composition of forage species was 74 considered (Spitz et al., 2010), dolphins seemed always to switch from a fat and high-quality 75 prey species to another high-quality prey species.”
Benthic and fish aggregation inside an offshore wind farm: Which effects on the trophic web functioning? (2017, methodology): “To estimate the Q/B ratio, we used the metabolic rates and the daily consumption 221 according to the empirical equations of Boyd (2002) and Spitz et al. (2010).”
