Stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur are used as ecological tracers for a variety of
applications, such as studies of animal migrations, energy sources, and food web pathways. …

Lake ecosystems and the services that they provide to people are profoundly influenced by
dissolved organic matter derived from terrestrial plant tissues. These terrestrial dissolved …

… In the analysis presented in the text, we used 15% for dietary water, which is in agreement
with both these model runs and the recent review of the literature by Solomon et al. (65). …

… This work was funded by an NSF-DDIG award (DEB-0708666) to CT Solomon and MJ
Vander Zanden, and by collaborative NSF awards (DEB-0414258, DEB-0917696, DEB-0917719) …

We assembled data from a global network of automated lake observatories to test hypotheses
regarding the drivers of ecosystem metabolism. We estimated daily rates of respiration …

Recreational fisheries are culturally and economically important around the world. Recent
research emphasizes that understanding and managing these systems requires a social–…

With ecosystems increasingly supporting multiple invasive species, interactions among
invaders could magnify or ameliorate the undesired consequences for native communities and …

We compared long-term change in two lake districts, one in a forested rural setting and the
other in an urbanizing agricultural region, using lakes as sentinel ecosystems. Human …

Ecologists use stable isotopes (δ 13 C, δ 15 N) to better understand food webs and explore
trophic interactions in ecosystems. Traditionally, δ 13 C vs. δ 15 N bi‐plots have been used …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is recognized for its importance in freshwater ecosystems,
but historical reliance on DOM quantity rather than indicators of DOM composition has led to …
