Lake zooplankton δ13C values are strongly correlated with the δ13C values of distinct phytoplankton taxa

Abstract Analyses of carbon stable isotopes are often used to estimate the contributions of allochthonous and autochthonous dietary resources to aquatic consumers. Most pelagic food web studies assume that all phytoplankton taxa have a similar δ13C value. We studied pelagic food web compartments (di... View More
