Many bats use aquatic habitats for foraging and for drinking water. Interactions between
aquatic and terrestrial systems are important for understanding food web dynamics and for …

Assessing diet variability is of main importance to better understand the biology of bats and
design conservation strategies. Although the advent of metabarcoding has facilitated such …

Cross-ecosystem fluxes can crucially influence the productivity of adjacent habitats.
Emerging aquatic insects represent one important pathway through which freshwater …

Emergent insects represent a key vector through which aquatic nutrients are transferred to
adjacent terrestrial food webs. Aquatic fluxes of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from …

Resource subsides can link aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Animals that emerge from
aquatic ecosystems can transport nutrients that are scarce in terrestrial environments, like …

Across ecosystems, resources vary in their nutritional composition and thus their dietary
value to consumers. Animals can either access organic compounds, such as fatty acids …

Subsidies across aquatic–terrestrial boundaries can alter consumer distributions and
physiology. The importance of subsidies is a function of export quantity and of their …

Abstract Knowledge of aquatic food resources entering terrestrial systems is important for
food web studies and conservation planning. Bats, among other terrestrial consumers, often …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential resources unequally distributed
throughout landscapes. Certain PUFAs, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are common …

Long-distance migration is a rare phenomenon in European bats. Genetic analyses and
banding studies show that females can cover distances of up to 1,600 km, whereas males …
