Cross-system fluxes of aquatic insects rich in omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 LC-PUFAs), specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), may subsidise ins...

This study experimentally investigates the effect of traffic noise on the hunting behavior of young and subadult Tawny Owls (Strix aluco). We show that noise lowers the rate of prey detection and inc....
