Determining diet is a key prerequisite for understanding species interactions, food web
structure and ecological dynamics. In recent years, there has been considerable …

To understand consumer dietary requirements and resource use across ecosystems,
researchers have employed a variety of methods, including bulk stable isotope and fatty acid …

Increasing abundance of microplastics (MP) in marine and freshwaters is currently one of
the greatest environmental concerns. Since plastics are fairly resistant to chemical …

We here review the ecological role of essential nutritional biomolecules [fatty acids (FA),
amino acids (AA), sterols, vitamins] in aquatic and terrestrial food webs, encompassing the …

Microalgae have the ability to synthetize many compounds, some of which have been
recognized as a source of functional ingredients for nutraceuticals with positive health …

Abstract High Arctic ecosystems and Indigenous livelihoods are tightly linked and exposed
to climate change, yet assessing their sensitivity requires a long-term perspective. Here, we …

The quality of aquatic systems is threated by the huge amount of chemicals dispersed in the
environment. Anthropogenic activities are one of the main causes of pollution by metals …

Eutrophication (as an increase in total phosphorus [TP]) increases harmful algal blooms and
reduces the proportion of high-quality phytoplankton in seston and the content of ω-3 long …

The growth and reproduction of animals is affected by their access to resources. In aquatic
ecosystems, the availability of essential biomolecules for filter-feeding zooplankton depends …

Plastics have been produced for over a century, but definitive evidence of complete plastic
biodegradation in different habitats, particularly freshwater ecosystems, is still missing …
