International audienceWe investigated the relationships between the pattern of variation of δ13C in pelagic food webs and various morphologic and trophic characteristics of peri-alpine lakes. We used the δ13C of whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus), a long-lived zooplanktivorous fish, to assess the isotope ratio of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) at the origin of the pelagic food web. The δ13C of DIC depends on its origin, which may be the atmosphere or the mineralization of organic matter. A synchronic study of 22 peri-alpine lakes shows that the surface area of the lake accounts for much of the variability of the δ13C in pelagic food webs (r2 = 0.76). The δ13C increases with lake size, which suggests that the origin of the DIC integrated into...
