Light, nutrients and grazing interact to determine diatom species richness via changes to productivity, nutrient state and grazer activity (2009, background): “Nutrient content of plants may lead to compensatory feeding at low food quality by benthic (Fink & Von Elert 2006), pelagic (Plath & Boersma 2001) and terrestrial consumers (Huberty & Denno 2006).”
Growth responses of littoral mayflies to the phosphorus content of their food (2002, background): “:P ratio food was proposed by Plath & Boersma (2001).”
Essential fatty acid content and the phosphorus to carbon ratio in cultured algae as indicators of food quality for Daphnia (2002, result): “According to some researchers, ‘the phosphorus content of the algae was more important than the effect of the fatty acid composition’ (Plath & Boersma, 2001), while others report simulation results suggesting factors other than phosphorus ‘will be the primary determinants of algal food quality for…”
Stoichiometry: Linking elements to biochemicals (2004, background): “There are two main lines of supporting evidence: correlative studies relating growth to intake (e.g., White 1984, Plath and Boersma 2001), and stoichiometric studies.”
Elevated nutrient content of tropical macroalgae increases rates of herbivory in coral, seagrass, and mangrove habitats (2004, background): “Faster grazing rates or overall greater consumption of N- and/or P-enriched algae suggest a preference for such high quality foods in temperate locations (Nicotri 1980; Yates and Peckol 1993; Hauxwell et al. 1998; Giannotti and McGlathery 2001; Plath and Boersma 2001).”
Bridging the gap between marine biogeochemical and fisheries sciences; configuring the zooplankton link (2014, background): “, ingestate is held longer) in the presence of poor quality food to enable thorough digestion of the ingested material (e.g., Horn and Messer, 1992; Plath and Boersma, 2001).”
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): “…of food sources (Small and Pringle 2010) involves resorption, the digestive–absorptive process, excretion, increases in grazing activity and changes in respiration (Plath and Boersma 2001; Darchambeau et al. 2003, 2005; Torres and Vanni 2007; Christian et al. 2008, among others, see Fig.”
Ecological stoichiometry in freshwater benthic systems: recent progress and perspectives (2005, background): “Interestingly, in this case, snail growth rates and body P content were uncoupled, and this discrepancy was attributed to the potentially toxic effects of extremely high P content of food resources when P supply was experimentally increased (also see Plath & Boersma, 2001).”
Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “However, from a stoichiometric perspective, detritus, which is high in C, may result in metabolic costs to consumers, including altered metabolic rate and growth rate (Plath and Boersma, 2001 ; Hessen and Andersen, 2008 ).”
Increased carbon dioxide availability alters phytoplankton stoichiometry and affects carbon cycling and growth of a marine planktonic herbivore (2012, background): “Surplus carbon can be excreted through different mechanisms, ranging from increased activity (Plath and Boersma 2001) and respiration (Darchambeau et al.”
Daphnia as keystone predators: effects on phytoplankton diversity and grazing resistance (2005, background): “One possible explanation for this asymptotic behavior may be that per capita grazing effort by Daphnia declined at the lowest food densities (Plath, 1998; Plath and Boersma, 2001).”
Life at the edge: Is food quality really of minor importance at low quantities? (2002, methodology): “…of our supplementation treatment and of similar experiments reported in the literature (Urabe et al. 1997, 2002, DeMott et al. 1998, Boersma 2000, Elser et al. 2001, Plath and Boersma 2001) show that adding phosphorus to low-P algae increased growth rates up to levels reached with high-P food.”
