Impacts of climate warming on lake fish community structure and potential effects on ecosystem function (2010, background): “Fish also link littoral, benthic and pelagic zones through nutrient translocation and biotic interactions across habitats (Vander Zanden & Vadeboncoeur, 2002).”
Effects of acid treatment on carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in ecological samples: a review and synthesis (2014, neutral): “To recognize important dietary items and principal prey species of animal consumers (Riera et al. 1996; Vander Zanden & Vadeboncoeur 2002; Waltham & Connolly 2006; Fry et al. 2008); 4.”
Effects of invasive macrophytes on littoral-zone productivity and foodweb dynamics in a New Zealand high-country lake (2005, background): “The productivity of macrophyte beds is a major avenue of energy flow, particularly in oligotrophic lakes, and can be a useful correlate of fish productivity and biomass (Hanson and Leggett 1982, Rasmussen and Kalff 1987, Vander Zanden and Vadeboncoeur 2002).”
Getting to the fat of the matter: models, methods and assumptions for dealing with lipids in stable isotope analyses (2007, methodology): “…aquatic and terrestrial animals, to estimate the d15N baselines required to estimate trophic position, and to evaluate habitat coupling and material flow (Vandermerwe and Vogel 1978; Peterson et al. 1985; Hobson 1999; Post et al. 2000; Phillips 2001; Post 2002; Vander Zanden and Vadeboncoeur 2002).”
Freshwater food webs: towards a more fundamental understanding of biodiversity and community dynamics (2012, background): “In some cases, it has been shown that large mobile predators act to couple food-web dynamics across spatial scales (Winemiller & Jepsen, 1998; Vander Zanden & Vadeboncoeur, 2002) with potential effects on food-web stability (Kerfoot & Deangelis, 1989; McHugh, McIntosh & Jellyman, 2010).”
The adaptive capacity of lake food webs: from individuals to ecosystems (2016, background): “…system have been studied extensively using stomach contents combined with stable isotopes of carbon (δ 13 C) to track littoral vs. pelagic carbon source use and nitro- gen (δ 15 N) to estimate trophic position (Post et al. 2000 , Vander Zanden and Vadeboncoeur 2002 , Tunney et al. 2012 , 2014 ).”
Fish Reliance on Littoral–Benthic Resources and the Distribution of Primary Production in Lakes (2011, background): “…production in oligotrophic and shallow lakes (Vadeboncoeur and others 2003; Ask and others 2009a, b), and that littoral–benthic resources can play a surprisingly large role in supporting lacustrine fishes (Hecky and Hesslein 1995; Vander Zanden and Vadeboncoeur 2002; Karlsson and Bystrom 2005).”
Coupled energy pathways and the resilience of size-structured food webs (2011, background): “The coupling of these energy pathways is important for understanding ecosystem dynamics because the nutrients that support production come from a common pool and predators may use energy from both pathways (Vander Zanden and Vadeboncoeur 2002; Post et al. 2000; McCann et al. 2005).”
Lake morphometry predicts the degree of habitat coupling by a mobile predator (2009, background): “Early empirical evidence suggests that, indeed, smaller freshwater ecosystems exhibit a higher degree of littoral habitat coupling and omnivory, compared to food webs in larger freshwater bodies (Post et al. 2000b, Gunn 2002, Vander Zanden and Vadeboncoeur 2002, McCann et al. 2005).”
