Marine ecosystems are rich in “omega-3” long-chain (C 20-24) polyunsaturated fatty acids
(LC-PUFA). Their production has been historically accepted to derive mostly from marine …

Many freshwater systems receive substantial inputs of terrestrial organic matter. Terrestrially
derived dissolved organic carbon (t‐DOC) inputs can modify light availability, the spatial …

Micronutrient deficiencies account for an estimated one million premature deaths annually,
and for some nations can reduce gross domestic product, by up to 11%, highlighting the …

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder related with the increase of age
and it is the main cause of dementia in the world. AD affects cognitive functions, such as …

Phytoplankton are the main source of energy and omega‐3 (n‐3) long‐chain essential fatty
acids (EFA) in aquatic ecosystems. Their growth and biochemical composition are affected …

Once-abundant aerial insectivores, such as the Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), have
declined steadily in the past several decades, making it imperative to understand all aspects …

The supply and demand of omega‐3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (ω‐3 HUFA) in natural
ecosystems may lead to resource limitation in a diverse array of animal taxa. Here, we …

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

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an essential, omega-3, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty
acid that is a key component of cell membranes and plays a vital role in vertebrate brain …

Ecologists studying bird foraging ecology have generally focused on food quantity over
quality. Emerging work suggests that food quality, in terms of highly unsaturated omega‐3 …
