The dark side of rocks: An underestimated high‐quality food resource in river ecosystems

نویسندگان

چکیده

Algae are generally a high-quality diet source because they provide essential compounds to aquatic consumers. In forested stream ecosystems, the availability of algae is low compared terrestrial organic matter, which may constrain dietary transfer However, there could be other overlooked resource pools that consumers in river ecosystems. We conducted field study along subalpine continuum Austria identify nutritional role ‘hidden’ food for consumers; biofilms growing on underside rocks (dark biofilms). Dark and light (i.e. upper surface rocks) invertebrates were collected, their fatty acid (FA) composition was analysed. Compared with biofilms, dark contained greater proportions bacterial FA, long-chain saturated FA (biomarkers plants) oleic (18:1ω9; fungal biomarker), but lower proportion algal especially omega-3 polyunsaturated (ω3 PUFA). The ω3 PUFA strongly correlated biofilms. Furthermore, overall profiles significantly associated invertebrate profiles. Strong correlations also observed between eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5ω3). Synthesis. This demonstrates pool ecosystems often overlooked. Similar physiologically important invertebrates. these resources threatened by increasing human disturbances Future research required better understand how quality both changes response disturbance, this affects energy trophic consumers, including fish humans.
