Heat it up to slow it down: Individual energetics reveal how warming reduces stream decomposition

Global change holds complex consequences for Earth's ecosystems, with global
warming simultaneously affecting multiple aspects including individual physiology,
population dynamics and ecosystem processes. In a recent study on stream decomposition
under global warming, Réveillon, et al. (2022) combined individual-level
laboratory
assessments of metabolic rates and leaf-litter
ingestion with experimentally
parameterized consumer-resource
models, designed to reveal how stream-detritivore
populations respond to combined impacts of warming and declining body size. Their
findings of reduced energetic efficiency, weakened detritivore populations and reduced
decomposition in warmed streams expand our understanding of how global
change mechanistically links changes from the individual to the ecosystem level.
