Benthic marine invertebrate herbivores diversify their algal diets in winter by R. M. Yoshioka, A. W. E. Galloway, J. B. Schram, L. E. Bell, K. J. Kroeker

“…Further, dispersions of fatty acid logratios were greater within herbivore species in the winter than in the summer, potentially due to the utilization of more diverse resources when preferred algae are less abundant. In total, results suggest that herbivores are not simply tracking the seasonal fatty acid changes in the dominant algae as trophic resources; instead, herbivore fatty acid seasonal changes may occur largely through some other nonexclusive mechanisms, such as omnivory, reductions or shifts in dietary composition, and/or endogenous physiological responses. …”
