Microbial respiration per unit microbial biomass depends on litter layer carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (2014, background): “Secondly, it has been pointed out that the energy lost by disposing of C could be invested into storage, antiviral defense or other processes, which increase the fitness of the organism (Hessen and Anderson, 2008; Hessen et al., 2013).”
From Elements to Function: Toward Unifying Ecological Stoichiometry and Trait-Based Ecology (2017, background): “Ecological stoichiometry (ES) is a framework that links an organism’s metabolic demands with the relative supply of elements in the environment (Sterner and Elser, 2002; Hessen et al., 2013).”
The Importance of Phytoplankton Biomolecule Availability for Secondary Production (2017, background): “In nature, there is often a mismatch between the metabolic requirements of consumers and nutritional quality of producers, and this typically results in reduced somatic growth and reproduction of grazers (Boersma and Elser, 2006; Behmer, 2009; Hessen et al., 2013).”
The Multidimensional Stoichiometric Niche (2017, background): “…(Sterner and Elser, 2002), and consequently the elemental phenotype is thought to be shaped by the variation in classic traits (e.g., growth rates, body size) related to the structural and functional demands of individuals (Sterner and Elser, 2002; Hessen et al., 2013; Jeyasingh et al., 2014).”
