Data from: Terrigenous subsidies in lakes support zooplankton production mainly via a green food chain and not the brown food chain

Terrestrial organic matter (t-OM) has been recognized as an important cross-boundary subsidy to aquatic ecosystems. However, recent evidence has shown that t-OM contributes little to promote secondary production in lakes because it is low quality food for aquatic consumers. To resolve this conflict, we performed a field experiment using leaf litter as t-OM. In the experiment, we monitored zooplankton biomass in enclosures with and without addition of leaf litter under shaded and unshaded conditions and...

Understanding the extent to which genetic diversity of wild populations in ex situ conservation can be retained is crucial for the management of such populations. Wild individuals collected in the target area in the past and present can be used to estimate the number of alleles lost over time in wild populations and thereby the number of alleles whose loss could be prevented by ex situ conservation. Here, we assessed the genetic diversity of wild...
