Sterol limitation of Daphnia on eukaryotic phytoplankton: a combined supplementation and compound‐specific stable isotope labeling approach

Essential biomolecules can critically influence the performance of consumers. A deficiency in dietary sterols has been shown to constrain the food quality of prokaryotic food sources for aquatic consumers. Here, we assessed the importance of dietary cholesterol for life history traits (survival, gro...
