We developed new perspectives to identify important questions and to propose approaches for future research on marine food web lipids. They were related to (i) structure and function of lipids, (ii) lipid changes during critical life phases, (iii) trophic marker lipids, and (iv) potential impact of climate change. The first addresses the role of lipids in membranes, storage lipids, and buoyancy with the following key question: How are the properties of membranes and deposits affected by the various types of lipids? The second deals with the importance of various types of lipids during reproduction, development, and resting phases and addresses the role of the different storage lipids during growth and dormancy. The third relates to trophic marker lipids, which are an important tool to follow lipid and energy transfer through the food web. The central question is how can fatty acids be used to identify and quantify food web relationships? With the fourth, hypotheses are presented on effects of global warmi...

• Lipids and life strategy of Arctic Calanus (2009, background): “Kattner et al. (2007) hypothesize that the present composition of the polar herbivore community in the Arctic, mainly consisting of the three Calanus species, as well as the development of highly efficient lipid synthesis of wax ester in these animals, is a consequence of the variations in climate…”
• Future climate‐driven shifts in distribution of Calanus finmarchicus (2011, background): “Copepods are a dominant component of the mesozooplancton in this region (Mauchline, 1998; Kattner et al., 2007).”
• Once upon a larva: revisiting the relationship between feeding success and growth in fish larvae (2014, background): “…in larval fish are generally stored as large, highenergy triacylglycerols (TAG, Rainuzzo et al., 1997), but lipids can also be used directly in the form of short-lived transitory, small components that are energetically available (e.g. free fatty acids and diacylglycerides; Kattner et al., 2007).”
