Food quality affects secondary consumers even at low quantities: an experimental test with larval European lobster.
The issues of food quality and food quantity are crucial for trophic interactions. Although most research has focussed on the primary producer-herbivore link, recent studies have shown that quality effects at the bottom of the food web propagate to higher trophic levels. Negative effects of poor foo...
