Highlights•In some instances, insects can be large direct inputs of biomass to the detrital
pool.•Insects and other small invertebrates transform biomass and alter decomposition …

Human‐driven changes in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs are modifying
biogeochemical cycles and the trophic state of many habitats worldwide. These alterations …

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 …

The magnitude of cross‐ecosystem resource subsidies is increasingly well recognized;
however, less is known about the distance these subsidies travel into the recipient …

Floods, spatially complex water flows, and organism movements all generate important
fluxes of aquatic-derived materials into terrestrial habitats, counteracting the gravity-driven …

Streams and adjacent terrestrial ecosystems are characterized by permeable boundaries
that are crossed by resource subsidies. Although the importance of these subsidies for …

Freshwaters receive more than water from their catchments, including a large amount of
materials and biologically available energy, referred to as cross‐ecosystem resource …

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 …

Recent research has demonstrated the important role that high-biomass species play in the
transfer of energy and nutrients across habitat boundaries, as well as the ecosystem …

We assessed the influence of agricultural land use on aquatic–terrestrial linkages along
streams arising from changes in the emergence of aquatic insects. We expected that …
