Global warming is expected to strengthen herbivore-plant interactions leading enhanced top-down control of plants. However, latitudinal gradients in plant quality as food for herbivores suggest lower palatability at higher temperatures, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. If would decline with temperature rise, then this may question expectation that leads control. Therefore, experiments directly test and traits along a gradient needed. Here we experimentally tested impact on...
Rising temperatures likely affect the trophic interactions in temperate regions as global warming progresses. An open question is how a temperature rise may consumer pressure and plant abundance shallow aquatic ecosystems, where most consumers are omnivorous. Interestingly, herbivory (plant-eating) more prevalent toward low latitudes ectotherms such fish invertebrates, this be driven. We used pond snails (Lymnaea stagnalis L.) model ectotherm species tested their consumption of both animal...
Human induced eutrophication has strongly altered aquatic ecosystems. With increasing eutrophication, plant nutrient concentrations increase, making them more attractive as food for herbivores. However, most consumers are omnivorous. Ecological stoichiometry theory predicts that animals prefer to consume which a similar (N and P) composition or C:nutrient ratio compared their own bodies, hence omnivorous may eat animal prey instead of plants. We asked whether omnivores would shift diet...
