Abstract:In light of ongoing climate change, it is increasingly important to know
how nutritional requirements of ectotherms are affected by changing
temperatures. Here, we analyse the wide thermal response of phosphorus
(P) requirements via elemental gross growth efficiencies of Carbon (C)
and P, and the Threshold Elemental Ratios in different aquatic
invertebrate ectotherms such as the freshwater model species Daphnia
magna, the marine copepod Acartia tonsa, the marine heterotrophic
dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina, an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
