We quantified the potential nutritional contribution of benthic mats to pelagic consumers in tundra ponds
using three approaches. (1) We compared benthic and pelagic habitats based on their algal biomass and
community composition and assessed the dietary quality in terms of fatty acid (FA) concentrations in both
habitats. The algal community compositions differed significantly between habitats. Both benthic and pelagic
habitats contained saturated and unsaturated FAs, but on average there were more FAs relative to carbon in the
pelagic habitat (44 6 29 mg mg C21) than the benthic habitat (23 6 18 mg mg C21) across all studied ponds. (2)
We quantified the contribution of benthic mats to the whole-lake FA pool and found that benthic mats dominate
(on average . 90%) the basal FA resource within tundra ponds. (3) Using a series of feeding experiments, we
found that Daphnia survival and FA concentrations increased when a benthic mat slurry supplemented low
concentrations of phytoplankton. However, Daphnia could not survive solely on benthic mats, and nor did
benthic mats increase adult Daphnia survival when mats were offered as coherent pieces. The extent to which
pelagic consumers could be supported by benthic production challenges the view that benthic habitats are
functionally separate from the pelagic food webs within northern lake ecosystems.

Poor nutritional quality of primary producers and zooplankton driven by eutrophication is mitigated at upper trophic levels
Taipale, Sami Johan; Ventelä, Anne‐Mari; Litmanen, Jaakko; Anttila, Lauri (John Wiley & Sons, 2022)Eutrophication and rising water temperature in freshwaters may increase the total production of a lake while simultaneously reducing the nutritional quality of food web components. We evaluated how cyanobacteria blooms, ... -
The second life of terrestrial and plastic carbon as nutritionally valuable food for aquatic consumers
Taipale, S. J.; Rigaud, C.; Calderini, M. L.; Kainz, M. J.; Pilecky, M.; Uusi‐Heikkilä, S.; Vesamäki, J. S.; Vuorio, K.; Tiirola, M. (Wiley, 2023)Primary production is the basis for energy and biomolecule flow in food webs. Nutritional importance of terrestrial and plastic carbon via mixotrophic algae to upper trophic level is poorly studied. We explored this question ... -
Potential for large-bodied zooplankton and dreissenids to alter the productivity and autotrophic structure of lakes
Higgins, Scott N.; Althouse, B.; Devlin, Shawn; Vadeboncoeu, Y.; Zanden, M. J. Vander (Ecological Society of America, 2014)While limnological studies have emphasized the importance of grazers on algal biomass and primary production in pelagic habitats, few studies have examined their potential role in altering total ecosystem primary production ... -
Circulating microRNAs are a potential molecular link between nutrition and colorectal cancer risk in Lynch Syndrome
Kärkkäinen, Minta (2023)Lynch syndrome is an inherited cancer-predisposing syndrome where occur mutations in mismatch repair genes. Colorectal cancer is a common form of cancer within Lynch syndrome carriers. The inherited gene mutation predisposes ... -
Spatial and temporal dynamics of coastal benthic microbial communities along a salinity gradient
Petersen, H. C.; Sapkota., R.; Hiillos, A.-L.; Hansen, B. W.; Banta, G. T.; Knott, K. E. (Inter-Research Science Center, 2023)The Baltic Sea is a unique brackish water ecosystem that has been studied for decades; however, knowledge about the diversity of the benthic communities of bacteria and microbial eukaryotes within this system is sparse. ...
