Fatty acid composition of consumers in boreal lakes - variation across species, space and time
Lau, Danny C P; Vrede, Tobias; Pickova, Jana; Goedkoop, WillemAbstract
1. Fatty acids (FAs) have been widely applied as trophic biomarkers in aquatic food web studies. However, current knowledge of inter- and intraspecific variation in consumer FA compositions across spatial and temporal scales is constrained to a few pelagic taxa.Keywords
