Areas with littoral macrophytes play an important functional role in freshwater systems. In addition to the high productivity recorded in such areas, they also shelter a high diversity of organisms. However, possible links between spatial heterogeneity, biodiversity and energy pathways are still poorly known. As they constitute the major link between microorganisms and species higher in the food web, microcrustaceans play a key role in the transfer of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to organisms at higher trophic levels. In this study, we wanted to assess if microcrustaceans diversity encountered in macrophytes littoral zones would lead to a variability of PUFA transfer in the food web.
