• Bioconversion of fatty acids at the basis of marine food webs: insights from a compound-specific stable isotope analysis (2012, background): “Animals cannot synthesize 18:2ω6 and 18:3ω3 de novo, yet they may convert these FA to LC-PUFA through a series of reactions catalysed by fatty acyl desaturases and PUFA elongases (Iverson 2009).”
• 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).”
• Fatty acids of microalgae: diversity and applications (2021, background): “This gives the possibility of both a targeted search for new highly productive representatives of certain FAs among certain groups of microalgae, and the use of FA profile data for identifying taxa, determining the characteristics of food chains in ecosystems (Iverson 2009; Kühn et al. 2019; Taipale”
• Trace me if you can: the use of intrinsic biogeochemical markers in marine top predators (2012, unknown): “Iverson SJ. 2009.”
• Diet of whale sharks Rhincodon typus inferred from stomach content and signature fatty acid analyses (2013, background): “This direct influence is because most high trophic level marine animals lack the ability to synthesise particular FA, especially the essential long-chain (≥C20) polyunsaturated FA (LC-PUFA), de novo (Sargent et al. 1995, Dalsgaard et al. 2003, Iverson 2009).”
• A fundamental dichotomy in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid abundance between and within marine and terrestrial ecosystems (2017, background): “Typical of tropical ecosystems, prey throughout these systems generally contain relatively high levels of n-6 LC-PUFA and very low levels of MUFA (Iverson 2009).”
• Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs (2012, methodology): “Both biosynthesis and selective retention of HUFAs are likely to occur only when the diet is deficient in these (Iverson 2009).”
• The importance of high-quality algal food sources in stream food webs - current status and future perspectives (2016, background): “resent long-term dietary information (Iverson, 2009).”
• Lipids in Marine Ecosystems (2013, unknown): “ANOSIM and SIMPER provide a more quantitative analysis of patterns in the lower food web, but they do not provide quantitative estimates of predator diets as can be done at higher trophic levels [96, 98].”
