A standard protocol for stable isotope analysis of zooplankton in aquatic food web research using mass balance correction models (2007, methodology): “Since this model is based on theoretical considerations and empirical data derived from marine fish and crustaceans (McConnaughey 1978), it may be inadequate for freshwater organisms.”

NUTRITION, PHYSIOLOGY, AND STABLE ISOTOPES: NEW INFORMATION FROM FASTING AND MOLTING PENGUINS (2005, background): “In animal tissues, C/N is positively related to lipid content (Schmidt et al. 2003, Matthews and Mazumder 2005), and lipids are depleted in 13C when compared to proteins (Kelly 2000).”
