Stable isotopes and fatty acids reveal that Chironomus riparius feeds selectively on added food in standardized toxicity tests

During long‐term standardized toxicity tests with Chironomus riparius, food additions are a prerequisite for normal development and to avoid false‐positive results. Consequently, larvae may selectively feed on added food rather than on contaminated sediment, which may confound toxicity test results....
