Characterizing the role of phosphorus availability and periphytic algae in the food choice and performance of detritivorous caddisflies (Trichoptera:Limnephilidae)

Freshwater Science, 41(1), 18–32.

By: L. Demi n, D. Hughes* & B. Taylor n 

author keywords: feeding preference; selective foraging; detritivore; detritus; phosphorus; Trichoptera
TL;DR: These findings provide an initial step toward characterizing the feeding preferences and performance responses of aquatic detritivores to 2 potentially common nutritional constraints: detrital P and algal supply. (via Semantic Scholar)

2021 article

Understanding the evolution of nutritive taste in animals: Insights from biological stoichiometry and nutritional geometry

Demi, L. M., Taylor, B. W., Reading, B. J., Tordoff, M. G., & Dunn, R. R. (2021, June 4). ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, Vol. 6.

By: L. Demi n, B. Taylor n , B. Reading n , M. Tordoff * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: chemoreception; gustation; homeostasis; nutritional ecology; optimal foraging
TL;DR: It is suggested that the evolution of multiple nutritive taste modalities can be predicted by identifying individual elements that are typically more concentrated in the tissues of animals than plants. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 journal article

Experimental N and P additions relieve stoichiometric constraints on organic matter flows through five stream food webs

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL ECOLOGY, 89(6), 1468–1481.

By: L. Demi*, J. Benstead *, A. Rosemond * & J. Maerz *

author keywords: detritus; ecological stoichiometry; food webs; nitrogen; nutrient pollution; phosphorus; secondary production; streams
MeSH headings : Animals; Ecosystem; Food Chain; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Rivers
TL;DR: This study suggests that ongoing global increases in N and P supply will increase organic-matter flows to metazoan food webs in detritus-based ecosystems by reducing stoichiometric constraints at basal trophic levels, however, the extent to which those flows are propagated to the highest troPHic levels likely depends on responses of individual prey taxa and their relative susceptibility to predation.
