Fatty acids have been used as qualitative markers to trace or confirm predator prey
relationships in the marine environment for more than thirty years. More recently, they have …

Colonization of new ecological niches has triggered large adaptive radiations. Although
some lineages have made use of such opportunities, not all do so. The factors causing this …

Early feeding studies on Meganyctiphanes norvegica described the morphology of the
feeding appendages and the actual process of food uptake and digestion. Insights into …

The overwintering success of Euphausia superba is a key factor that dictates population
size, but there is uncertainty over how they cope with the scarcity of pelagic food. Both …

attract both people and wildlife, although management efforts are still in their …

The application of marker fatty acids to trace the feeding habits of Euphausia superba (krill)
has produced contradictory results. We examined the effects of various diets on the fatty acid …

The naturally occurring radionuclides 210 Po and 210 Pb can be used as geochemical
