Methane-Derived Carbon in the Benthic Food Web in Stream Impoundments

Methane gas (CH(4)) has been identified as an important alternative source of carbon and energy in some freshwater food webs. CH(4) is oxidized by methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB), and subsequently utilized by chironomid larvae, which may exhibit low δ(13)C values. This has been shown for chironomid...
