• Fatty acid composition as biomarkers of freshwater microalgae: analysis of 37 strains of microalgae in 22 genera and in seven classes (2013, background): “Daphnia have limited capacity to bioconvert ALA to EPA de novo (von Elert 2002, Taipale et al. 2011), and thus phytoplankton species with high EPA concentration are very high-quality resources for Daphnia (Brett et al. 2006).”
• The Importance of Phytoplankton Biomolecule Availability for Secondary Production (2017, background): “Based on the previous studies (e.g., Brett et al., 2006; Hessen, 2008; Martin-Creuzburg et al., 2009; Ravet et al., 2010; Taipale et al., 2011, 2014, 2015), we expected phosphorus, ω3 FAs and sterols being the most important biomolecules for Daphnia performance.”
• How important are terrestrial organic carbon inputs for secondary production in freshwater ecosystems (2017, background): “For example, this conversion is below 0.5% in herbivorous Daphnia (Taipale et al., 2011; Von Elert, 2002), and thus Daphnia require EPA directly from their diets.”
• Diet-specific biomarkers show that high-quality phytoplankton fuels herbivorous zooplankton in large boreal lakes (2014, background): “The FA profiles of dietary resources are also not unaltered during incorporation into consumer tissues, and the trophic modification of dietary FA will depend upon nutritional quality of the prey and energetic demands of the consumer (Taipale et al., 2011).”
• Addressing assumptions: variation in stable isotopes and fatty acids of marine macrophytes can confound conclusions of food web studies (2013, methodology): “FAMEs were analyzed with an HP 6958 GC equipped with an auto sampler and flame-ionization detector using a 30 m Agilent DB-23 column, and 37- component FAME standards mix (Supelco™) with an 85 min run time (Taipale et al. 2011).”
