- Organic carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems : a review (2008, background): “Mangrove leaves also include the longchain fatty acids (LCFA) 24:0, 26:0 and 28:0, which are typical vascular plant markers (Alfaro et al., 2006; Hall et al., 2006; Meziane et al., 2007).”
- Mangrove macrobenthos: Assemblages, services, and linkages (2008, background): “Stable isotope and other tracer studies indicate that the crabs, as with most other mangrove animals, apparently do not depend heavily on the mangrove leaf organic matter for their nutritional needs (Lee, 2005; Hall et al., 2006).”
- Stable isotope and fatty acid tracers in energy and nutrient studies of jellyfish: a review (2008, background): “For example, in a three-step food chain where decaying mangrove leaves were fed to shore crabs (the primary consumers), which, in turn were fed to swimming crabs (the secondary consumers), the FA 18:3x3 was conservatively transferred from the source to both primary and secondary consumers, whereas 1”
- Food web structure of a coastal Arctic marine ecosystem and implications for stability (2013, background): “Unlike the other fatty acid trophic markers, mean proportions of 18:2n-6 varied little among fish and marine mammal species (1.1 to 1.8%, Table S2) and, therefore, may not be useful as a trophic marker in upper trophic levels (which agrees with results of Hall et al. 2006).”
- Addressing assumptions: variation in stable isotopes and fatty acids of marine macrophytes can confound conclusions of food web studies (2013, background): “A key uncertainty of another kind is that relatively few studies have evaluated a consumer’s ability to modify the FAs in its tissues from dietary FAs, for example in controlled feeding trials (but see Graeve et al. 1994, Hall et al. 2006, Kelly et al. 2008).”
- Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs (2012, unknown): “LCFAs have also been used as trophic markers for mangroves and halophytes in benthic invertebrates (Meziane et al. 1997, Meziane & Tsu chiya 2000, 2002), but they are not assimilated by all consumers and may be of limited use as tracers in some food webs (Hall et al. 2006).”
