The importance of high-quality algal food sources in stream food webs - current status and future perspectives (2016, background): “…fatty acids for animals © 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd, Freshwater Biology, 61, 815–831 because enzymes, which are usually found in algae and other plants (Kelly & Scheibling, 2012), are required to convert 18:1x-9 to LIN (D12 desaturase) and further to ALA (D15 desaturase) (Cook & Mcmaster, 2002).”
Addressing assumptions: variation in stable isotopes and fatty acids of marine macrophytes can confound conclusions of food web studies (2013, background): “Kelly & Scheibling (2012) recently cautioned that because of this uncertainty, researchers should document macroalgal biomarkers throughout the year.”
Diet-specific biomarkers show that high-quality phytoplankton fuels herbivorous zooplankton in large boreal lakes (2014, background): “The complex FA signatures of different phytoplankton lineages, bacteria and t-POM also have taxonspecific characteristics and differences (Gugger et al., 2002; Kelly & Scheibling, 2012; Taipale et al., 2012, 2013).”
Integrating ecological roles and trophic diversification on coral reefs: multiple lines of evidence identify parrotfishes as microphages (2016, background): “…examined in having high levels of the monounsaturated vaccenic acid, 18:1n-7 (Pich e et al., 2010 Supporting Information), a dietary tracer for bacteria in marine benthic food webs (Kelly & Scheibling, 2012; Cnudde et al., 2015) that is also considered a biomarker for cyanobacteria (Yang Figure 2.”
A fundamental dichotomy in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid abundance between and within marine and terrestrial ecosystems (2017, background): “The overall FA composition in organisms has been confirmed experimentally to also depend on their diet (Iverson et al. 1997; Lane et al. 2006; Koussoroplis et al. 2008; Torres-Ruiz et al. 2010) and has been reviewed (Iverson et al. 2004; Budge et al. 2006; Kelly and Scheibling 2012).”
Fatty acid composition as biomarkers of freshwater microalgae: analysis of 37 strains of microalgae in 22 genera and in seven classes (2013, methodology): “…among marine phytoplankton (Dunstan et al. 1992, Viso & Marty 1993) and recently macrophyte-dominated benthic food webs (Galloway et al. 2012, Kelly & Scheibling 2012) as well, but analyses of the lipid profiles and associated phylogenetic relationships in freshwater microalgae have only…”
Fatty acids of microalgae: diversity and applications (2021, background): “As a number of studies show, for taxa of various ranks, a certain dependence can be traced at the level of predominance of certain groups of FAs in the profile (Bergé and Barnathan 2005; Petkov and Garcia 2007; Kelly and Scheibling 2012; Shukla et al. 2012; etc.).”
Opportunistic feeding on various organic food sources by the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (2013, background): “Our study thus adds to the growing evidence that care should be taken using fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs (Kelly and Scheibling, 2012; McLeod et al., 2013).”
Bioconversion of fatty acids at the basis of marine food webs: insights from a compound-specific stable isotope analysis (2012, methodology): “Prior to the use of FA as dietary tracers in field studies, Kelly & Scheibling (2012) suggested that controlled feeding experiments are needed to verify the transfer of indicator FA from food to consumer.”
