Increased carbon dioxide availability alters phytoplankton stoichiometry and affects carbon cycling and growth of a marine planktonic herbivore (2012, background): “Whatever the mechanisms used, keeping homoeostasis and thus getting rid of excess carbon often comes at a cost to the herbivore and hence results in decreased growth and reproduction (Boersma 2000; Malzahn et al. 2007).”
Nutritional Limitation Travels up the Food Chain (2008, background): “; b) algae to copepod to ctenophore (SCHOO, pers. communication); c) algae to copepod to larval herring (MALZAHN et al., 2007); and d) algae to dinoflagellate to copepod (HANTZSCHE, pers. communication).”
Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “” Experimentally, nutrient limitation of larval fish has been demonstrated; P-limited tri-trophic food chains had greater effects on fish larval condition than did Nlimited food chains (Malzahn et al., 2007).”
