Effects of water nutrient concentrations on stream macroinvertebrate community stoichiometry: a large-scale study by Beck, Miriam, Billoir, Elise, Usseglio-Polatera, Philippe, Meyer, Albin, Gautreau, Edwige, Danger, Michael

“…While we could not confirm our hypothesis of increasing community %P (and decreasing C:P, N:P) with increasing water phosphorus concentrations for the overall community, it clearly followed this pattern for both Insecta and Malacostraca. General differences in the elemental composition among major taxonomic groups and a shift among these groups over the nutrient gradient probably explain the response of community stoichiometry. …”
