A fundamental dichotomy in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid abundance between and within marine and terrestrial ecosystems (2017, background): “…in our marine data set, other researchers have also observed that DHA was transferred and selectively retained in the aquatic food web and generally increased in higher trophic levels (Kainz et al. 2004; Persson and Vrede 2006; Koussoroplis et al. 2008; Hixson et al. 2015; Twining et al. 2016).”
Characterizing dietary variability and trophic positions of coastal calanoid copepods: insight from stable isotopes and fatty acids (2009, methodology): “Fatty acids were analyzed as methyl esters (FAME) that were prepared by trans-esterfying the lipid extract in 14% BF3-CH3OH at 85 C for 1 h (Kainz et al. 2004).”
Production, distribution, and abundance of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids: a fundamental dichotomy between freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems (2015, background): “, zooplankton, benthic invertebrates, molluscs, and fish) higher up in the food chain, which makes these fatty acids effective dietary biomarkers in food webs (Dalsgaard et al. 2003; Kainz et al. 2004; Lands 2009; Taipale et al. 2013).”
High-quality algae attached to leaf litter boost invertebrate shredder growth (2016, background): “…size in the nutrient-enriched treatments. ω3 PUFAs from highquality algae can enhance invertebrate somatic growth and reproduction (Müller-Navarra et al. 2000, Wacker and von Elert 2001) and can stimulate energy-transfer efficiency to upper trophic levels (Kainz et al. 2004, Gladyshev et al. 2011).”
Effect of nutrition on fatty acid profiles of riverine, lacustrine, and aquaculture-raised salmonids of pre-alpine habitats (2010, background): “So far, focus was mostly put on lacustrine systems (Lindeman, 1942; Vander Zanden & Rasmussen, 1996; Kainz et al., 2002, 2004; Vander Zanden & Vadebonceur, 2002), while fewer studies dealt with riverine food webs (Woodward & Hildrew, 2002; Townsend & Hildrew, 2006).”
Fatty acid composition as biomarkers of freshwater microalgae: analysis of 37 strains of microalgae in 22 genera and in seven classes (2013, methodology): “The use of lipids in the study of food chain relationships was pioneered by Lee et al. (1971), and is now used extensively in marine ecosystem (e.g. re - viewed by Iverson 2009) and freshwater food web studies (Kainz et al. 2004, Brett et al. 2006, Taipale et al. 2009).”
Interactions between limiting nutrients: Consequences for somatic and population growth of Daphnia magna (2010, background): “In a number of field and laboratory studies it has been recognized that ARA is preferentially retained in Daphnia species (Kainz et al. 2004; Becker and Boersma 2005; Persson and Vrede 2006), but so far no clear beneficial effects of ARA accumulation on life-history traits of Daphnia have been…”
Seasonal shifts in the diet of lake zooplankton revealed by phospholipid fatty acid analysis (2009, background): “4% in Daphnia, as noted previously in the total FA fraction (Kainz et al., 2004; Brett et al., 2006); it has been proposed (e.”
Daphnia fatty acid composition reflects that of their diet (2006, background): “Kainz et al. (2004) concluded EFA ‘‘transfer efficiency to higher trophic levels will likely vary with the size and taxonomic composition of planktonic organisms and perhaps the trophic status of the lake.’’”
Combined effects of food quality and temperature on somatic growth and reproduction of two freshwater cladocerans (2009, background): “Some studies reported accumulation of EPA in total lipids of daphnids compared to the EPA content of the seston they fed on (Kainz et al. 2004; Hessen and Leu 2006).”
