Fatty acid composition differs between emergent aquatic and terrestrial insects—A detailed single system approach

Fatty acid composition differs between emergent aquatic and terrestrial insects—A detailed single system approach

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 emergent insects are particularly important subsidies for terrestrial ecosystems due to high PUFA contents in several a...
