Nutritional quality of food resources for zooplankton (Daphnia) in a tidal freshwater system (Sacramento‐San Joaquin River Delta) (2002, background): “Such growth bioassays have led to the identification of certain essential fatty acids and mineral nutrients as factors that potentially limit zooplankton growth in natural environments (MüllerNavarra et al. 2000; Elser et al. 2001).”
Phytoplankton essential fatty acid and phosphorus content constraints on Daphnia somatic growth and reproduction (2006, methodology): “Müller-Navarra (1995a) hypothesized that phytoplankton EPA content may exert primary control over phytoplankton food quality, whereas Elser et al. (2001) hypothesized that mineral P limitation exerts the greatest direct constraint on daphnid growth.”
The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and perspectives (2011, result): “:P ratio in phytoplankton and enhanced growth in zooplankton due to the high nutritional quality of phytoplankton (Elser et al. 2000a, 2001; Jeyasingh and Weider 2005; Hessen et al. 2007), thus supporting the GRH.”
Ecological stoichiometry: An elementary approach using basic principles (2013, background): “These, and a suite of follow-up experiments in lab and field settings (Elser et al. 2001), have demonstrated convincingly that P deficiency can constrain the growth rate of consumers.”
Stoichiometric food quality and herbivore dynamics (2001, background): “Recent evidence shows that phosphorus-limited Daphnia growth can be induced in laboratory cultures (Urabe & Sterner 1996; Urabe et al. 1997; DeMott et al. 1998) and observed in situ (DeMott & Gulati 1999; Elser et al. 2001 ).”
Life at the edge: Is food quality really of minor importance at low quantities? (2002, methodology): “…of our supplementation treatment and of similar experiments reported in the literature (Urabe et al. 1997, 2002, DeMott et al. 1998, Boersma 2000, Elser et al. 2001, Plath and Boersma 2001) show that adding phosphorus to low-P algae increased growth rates up to levels reached with high-P food.”
Stoichiometry: Linking elements to biochemicals (2004, methodology): “A good example is provided by freshwater zooplankton, which are widely believed to be limited by elemental phosphorus (Urabe et al. 1997, Elser et al. 2001), but for which there are also numerous studies proposing limitation by essential fatty acids (e.g., Müller-Navarra et al. 2000, see also…”
Trophic upgrading of autotrophic picoplankton by the heterotrophic nanoflagellate Paraphysomonas sp. (2006, background): “In natural systems, especially in freshwater habitats, the availability of sestonic phosphorus (Elser et al. 2001) can determine zooplankton growth.”
Nutritional Limitation Travels up the Food Chain (2008, background): “Obviously, nutrient stoichiometry of the algae influences the growth and reproduction of the herbivores dramatically (BOERSMA, 2000; ELSER et al., 2001; AUGUSTIN and BOERSMA, 2006), leading to lower densities under phosphorus-limited conditions (SEIDENDORF et al., 2007).”
Resource quality effects on life histories of Daphnia (2003, unknown): “…in food preferences are probably not very important in daphniids, and one would expect such changes in limiting factors to be more important in for example copepods, where food spectra and prey size can change considerable during life (e.g., Hart and Santer 1994; Villar-Argaiz et al. 2002).”
