Abstract C, N and P are three of the most important elements used to build living beings, and
their uptake from the environment is consequently essential for all organisms. We have …

Conventional theories of population and community dynamics are based on a single
currency such as number of individuals, biomass, carbon or energy. However, organisms …

Phytophagous insects have a much higher nitrogen and phosphorus content than their host
plants, an elemental mismatch that places inherent constraints on meeting nutritional …

Variation in detritus quality and quantity can have significant effects on aquatic invertebrate
food webs. Allochthonous inputs of detritus are the principal energy source for organisms in …

The canonical factors typically thought to determine herbivore community structure often
explain only a small fraction of the variation in herbivore abundance and diversity. We tested …

We reared mixotrophic (Ochromonas tuberculata and Cryptomonas sp.) and
photoautotrophic specialist algae (Scenedesmus obliquus) at different light: phosphorus …

Discarded tires are an important habitat for larvae of multiple species of disease-transmitting
mosquitoes. Although tire locations likely influence composition and abundance of vectors …

Declines in environmental calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) concentrations have occurred
over the past 30 yrs in lakes across the Canadian Shield in southern Ontario, and these …

Food quality and temperature can affect zooplankton production in lakes by altering
organismal metabolism. However, the influence of these factors on consumer nutritional …

Non-native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were eradicated from alpine Bighorn Lake,
Alberta, Canada, to test whether strong cascading trophic interactions (CTI) can occur in …
