Abstract: <p>Although stormwater management ponds (SWMPs) are frequently used to mitigate flooding in urban areas, we still do not fully understand how these systems impact water quality in a watershed. Currently, most research focuses on the effectiveness of SWMPs to retain nutrients during high flows, even though there is potential for internal nutrient releases to occur in these systems during low… more
Abstract: <p>Organismal nutrition lies at the interface between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem, dictating the transfer of energy and nutrients across trophic levels. Our ability to detect nutritional limitation in consumers is reliant on a priori knowledge of dietary history due to our inability to differentiate nutrient stress based on body-wide responses.
