Feeding and energy budgets of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba at the onset of winter—II. Juveniles and adults (2002, unknown): “These are the content of 20 : 1 and 22 : 1 FAs, the 18 : 1(n-9)/18 : 1(n-7) ratio (Falk-Petersen et al. 2000; Virtue et al. 2000), and the PUFA : SFA ratio (Cripps and Atkinson 2000).”
Lipid biomarkers indicate different ecological niches and trophic relationships of the Arctic hyperiid amphipods Themisto abyssorum and T.libellula (2002, methodology): “Both ratios have been proposed as relative measures of carnivory in marine invertebrates (Graeve et al. 1997; Auel 1999; Cripps and Atkinson 2000; Falk-Petersen et al. 2000).”
Characterizing dietary variability and trophic positions of coastal calanoid copepods: insight from stable isotopes and fatty acids (2009, background): “Because carnivorous zooplankton often have higher proportions of polar lipids, which are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), than do herbivorous crustaceans zooplankton, the proportion of PUFA to saturated fatty acids (SFA) can also be used as an index of carnivory (Cripps and Atkinson 2000;”
Feeding and energy budgets of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba at the onset of winter—I. Furcilia III larvae (2002, background): “Cripps and Atkinson (2000) propose that a ratio of”
Production, mortality, and infectivity of planktonic larval sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837): current knowledge and implications for epidemiological modelling (2018, background): “While most are omnivorous filter feeders and feed on phytoplankton and detritus, some are carnivorous and feed on other zooplankton (Cripps and Atkinson, 2000).”
Lipids as markers of nutritional condition and diet in the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba and Euphausia crystallorophias during austral winter (2004, background): “, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids) have been applied to understand trophic relationships (Bottino, 1974; Virtue et al., 1993; Cripps et al., 1999; Cripps and Atkinson, 2000) since such molecules are taxon-specific and obtained solely from their diet.”
On the use of lipid biomarkers in marine food web analyses: An experimental case study on the Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba (2003, methodology): “Cripps and Atkinson (2000) proposed that the ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids (PUFA/SFA) is a useful indicator for carnivorous (high values) versus herbivorous feeding in krill.”
