Diet-specific biomarkers show that high-quality phytoplankton fuels herbivorous zooplankton in large boreal lakes (2014, background): “In freshwater systems, several x-3 and x-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as 20 : 5x3 (EPA), and 22 : 6x3 (DHA), are essential compounds that are needed for growth and reproduction of fish and zooplankton (Sargent et al., 1999; M€uller-Navarra, 2008).”
Increased irradiance reduces food quality of sea ice algae (2010, background): “Moreover, these factors largely determine algal nutritional quality in terms of fatty acid composition (Thompson et al. 1990, Reitan et al. 1994) and elemental stoichiometry (Sterner & Elser 2002) with corresponding implications for higher trophic levels (Muller-Navarra 2008).”
Essential Biomolecules in Food Webs (2019, background): “, 2009), which can affect trophic interactions (Müller-Navarra, 2008).”
A comparison of the trophic transfer of fatty acids in freshwater plankton by cladocerans and calanoid copepods (2011, background): “marine and freshwater phytoplankton and zooplankton (e.g. Dalsgaard et al., 2003; Müller-Navarra, 2008)”
