Lipids comprise a large group of chemically heterogeneous compounds. The majority have
fatty acids (FA) as part of their structure, making these compounds suitable tools to examine …

The transport of resource subsidies by animals has been documented across a range of
species and ecosystems. Although many of these studies have shown that animal resource …

Climate change can decouple resource supply from consumer demand, with the potential to
create phenological mismatches driving negative consequences on fitness. However, the …

In recent decades, much conceptual thinking in trophic ecology has been guided by theories
of nutrient limitation and the flow of elements, such as carbon and nitrogen, within and …

Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are connected through reciprocal fluxes of energy and
nutrients that can subsidize consumers. Past research on reciprocal aquatic–terrestrial …

The boreal forest is a vast biome encompassing approximately one-third (30%) of the
world's forest area. It harbors about half of the world's remaining natural and near-natural …

Our understanding of lake ecosystems has undergone a paradigm shift over the past few
decades. While the classic tradition in limnology has been the study of planktonic, open …

Emergent aquatic insects constitute an important food source for higher trophic levels,
linking aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems. Little is known about how land use affects the …

Fatty acids (FA) are a major source of nutrients and energy in aquatic food webs, as well as
serving as the main components of all cell membranes. Increasing anthropogenic impacts …

Emerging aquatic insects have the potential to retain aquatic contaminants after
metamorphosis, potentially transporting them into adjacent terrestrial food webs. It is …
