Uncovering the soil food web of a tropical montane rain forest in southern Ecuador using stable isotopes (15N) (2005, background): “…maraun@bio.tu-darmstadt.de have been shown to be a powerful tool in evaluating the trophic structure of animal communities (Minagawa & Wada 1984, Ponsard & Arditi 2000, Post 2002, Scheu & Falca 2000, Schneider et al. 2004, Vanderklift & Ponsard 2003, Vander Zanden et al. 1999, Wada et al. 1991).”
- Feeding ecology of yellow-legged gulls Larus michahellis in the western Mediterranean: a comparative assessment using conventional and isotopic methods (2009, methodology): “The fact that these invertebrates were mostly involved in food webs based on dead organic matter might explain their high δ15N signatures (Ponsard & Arditi 2000) Comparing diet analysis and mixing models The main pattern resulting from the mixing model values was in agreement with the direct method…”
- The fat that matters: Soil food web analysis using fatty acids and their carbon stable isotope signature (2010, background): “The stable isotope composition in animal tissues has been employed to reconstruct soil food webs, with nitrogen applied to rank relative trophic levels and carbon to assign food sources (e.g. Ponsard and Arditi, 2000; Scheu and Falca, 2000; Tiunov, 2007).”
- Feeding biology of oribatid mites : a minireview (2004, methodology): “Stable isotopes Analysis of the natural variation in stable isotope ratios in animal tissue has been shown to be a powerful tool in evaluating the trophic structure of animal communities (Minagawa and Wada, 1984; Wada et al., 1991; Ponsard and Arditi, 2000; Scheu and Falca, 2000).”
- Stability and persistence of food webs with omnivory: Is there a general pattern? (2012, background): “In the past few decades, it has become clear that omnivory is widespread, occurring in a wide range of taxa and across all types of ecosystems (Menge and Sutherland 1987, Walter 1987, Polis 1991, Diehl 1993, Ponsard and Arditi 2000, Scheu and Falca 2000, Arim and Marquet 2004).”
- Who is eating what: diet assessment using next generation sequencing (2012, background): “Studies using stable isotopes can tell us a lot about energy flow through (e.g. Ponsard & Arditi 2000) and between ecosystems (e.g. Gratton et al. 2008), or simply dietary shifts (e.g. Ostrom et al. 1997).”
