Abstract C, N and P are three of the most important elements used to build living beings, and
their uptake from the environment is consequently essential for all organisms. We have …

Cells and organisms, both autotrophs and heterotrophs, commonly face imbalanced access
to and uptake of elements relative to their requirements. C is often in excess relative to key …

Anthropogenic pressures are the main drivers of freshwater biodiversity loss. Lakes can act
as sentinels of both local and regional changes and experience increased anthropogenic …

1. In this study we address how growth rate in consumers may be regulated by nitrogen (N)-
and phosphorus (P)-limitation of ribonucleic acid (RNA), using the rotifer Brachionus …

Anthropogenic activities have reshaped the relative supply rates of essential elements to
organisms. Recent studies suggested that consumer performance is strongly reduced by …

Aquatic ecosystems experience large natural variation in elemental composition of carbon
(C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), which is further enhanced by human activities. Primary …

It has been proposed that growth and reproduction of animals is frequently limited by
multiple nutrients simultaneously. To improve our understanding of the consequences of …

Carbon budgets of the mesopelagic zone are poorly constrained, highlighting our lack of
understanding of the biota that inhabit this environment and their role in the cycling and …

Like many invertebrate herbivores, Daphnia frequently face diets with excess carbon (C)
relative to elements like phosphorus (P), and with limited ability to store C-rich compounds …

The performance of four contemporary formulations describing trophic transfer, which have
strongly contrasting assumptions as regards the way that consumer growth is calculated as …
