Fatty acid stable isotopes add clarity, but also complexity, to tracing energy pathways in aquatic food webs

Abstract Tracing the flow of dietary energy sources, especially in systems with a high degree of omnivory, is an ongoing challenge in ecology. In aquatic systems, one of the persistent challenges is in differentiating between autochthonous and allochthonous energy sources to top consumers. Bulk carb...
