• Seasonal variation in body composition, metabolic activity, feeding, and growth of adult krill Euphausia superba in the Lazarev Sea (2010, methodology): “The experiments were performed in the same way as described in detail previously (Atkinson et al. 2002).”
• The role of grazing in structuring Southern Ocean pelagic ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles (2004, background): “Most of our knowledge of euphausiid ecology is based on E. superba which is reported to feed on a wide range of food items including microplankton, copepods and other euphausiids (Atkinson et al. 2002).”
• The overwintering of Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, from an ecophysiological perspective (2011, background): “Oxygen uptake rates of krill around the Antarctic in midlate winter have been shown to be only 30–40% of summer rates (Kawaguchi et al. 1986; Quetin and Ross 1991; Torres et al. 1994a; Atkinson et al. 2002; Meyer et al. 2010).”
• Physiology, growth, and development of larval krill Euphausia superba in autumn and winter in the Lazarev Sea, Antarctica (2009, background): “Adult krill reduce their metabolic rates by up to 50% in autumn and winter compared with summer values (Atkinson et al. 2002), and recently, research has shown that these seasonal physiological changes are triggered by the Antarctic light regime (Teschke et al. 2007).”
• Krill, Currents, and Sea Ice: Euphausia superba and Its Changing Environment (2006, background): “Krill are also known to be capable of omnivory, prolonged starvation, metabolic reduction, and benthic detritivory, all of which can support the adult population through the winter (Atkinson et al. 2002).”
• Feeding and energy budgets of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba at the onset of winter—I. Furcilia III larvae (2002, background): “Unselective feeding was also found for juveniles from the same study site, whereas adults fed mainly carnivorously (Atkinson et al. 2002).”
• Feeding and overwintering of Antarctic krill across its major habitats: The role of sea ice cover, water depth, and phytoplankton abundance (2014, background): “…range of methods, including in situ observations (Stretch et al. 1988), gut pigment analysis (Morris and Priddle 1984), microscopic stomach content analysis (Kawaguchi et al. 1986; Huntley et al. 1994), and onboard feeding experiments (Huntley et al. 1994; Atkinson et al. 2002; Meyer et al. 2010).”
• On the use of lipid biomarkers in marine food web analyses: An experimental case study on the Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba (2003, background): “Parallel to our studies, Atkinson et al. (2002) have conducted feeding experiments with juvenile and adult E. superba sampled at the same location and time.”
• Lipids as markers of nutritional condition and diet in the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba and Euphausia crystallorophias during austral winter (2004, background): “The observation that total lipid reserves are lower than previously observed for adult animals collected in fall (Atkinson et al., 2002), indicates that E. superba in Marguarite Bay relies on carnivory as well as the utilization of energy reserves as an overwintering strategy.”
• Protozoans as a food source for Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba: Complementary insights from stomach content, fatty acids, and stable isotopes (2006, background): “…g wet mass), for instance, can contain up to 150 mandibles per stomach with a maximum width of 170 mm (unpubl. data; Båmstedt and Karlson 1998), whereas the larger E. superba (,1.5 g wet mass) contained maximally five mandibles with a width of up to 100 mm (present study; Atkinson et al. 2002).”
