Zooplankton carcasses are ubiquitous in marine and freshwater systems, implicating the
importance of non-predatory mortality, but both are often overlooked in ecological studies …

Fish are an important source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) for birds, mammals and humans. In aquatic food webs, these highly unsaturated fatty …

In recent decades polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have come to be recognized as
compounds with considerable physiological importance for animals at all taxonomic levels …

The first few months of life is the most vulnerable period for fish and their optimal hatching
time with zooplankton prey is favored by natural selection. Traditionally, however, prey …

Ряд полиненасыщенных жирных кислот (ПНЖК) семейства 3 играет ключевую роль в
физиологии подавляющего большинства животных и представляет собой …

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 …

While eutrophication has led to serious habitat degradation and biotic shifts in freshwater
ecosystems, most current studies have focused on changes in community assemblages …

To assess nutritional consequences associated with lake oligotrophication for aquatic
consumers, we analyzed the elemental and biochemical composition of natural seston and …

Coastal eutrophication leads to a shift in primary producer communities from perennial
species to ephemeral fast-growing species of macroalgae, which is known as “green tides” …

Spatial patterns in the abundance of species are determined by local abiotic and biotic
conditions, and by the movement of individuals among localities. For species distributed …
