The importance of omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids as high‐quality food in freshwater ecosystems with implications of global change
Traditionally, trophic ecology research on aquatic ecosystems has focused more on the
quantity of dietary energy flow within food webs rather than food quality and its effects on …

Good food versus bad food: the role of sterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids in determining growth and reproduction of Daphnia magna
D Martin-Creuzburg, E von Elert - Aquatic ecology, 2009 - Springer
The absence of dietary sterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been shown to
affect the performance of the freshwater herbivore Daphnia. Here, we compared somatic …
