The importance of high-quality algal food sources in stream food webs - current status and future perspectives (2016, background): “…Honeyfield & Maloney, 2015); (ii) consumer PUFA composition indicates the fitness of populations, with the potential to explain community dynamics (Smyntek et al., 2008); (iii) the PUFA dynamics in stream food webs could be a potential proxy of climate change because total lipid content of fish…”
A comparison of the trophic transfer of fatty acids in freshwater plankton by cladocerans and calanoid copepods (2011, background): “6) are comparable to those reported by Smyntek et al. (2008) for seston (1.”
Seasonal shifts between autochthonous and allochthonous carbon contributions to zooplankton diets in a subarctic lake (2011, background): “Copepods are able to change their cellular components to more highly unsaturated fatty acids in winter, while cladocerans rely on different fatty acids to maintain cellular fluidity (Smyntek et al. 2008; Mariash et al. in press).”
