Many primary consumers in freshwater, marine and terrestrial systems are ectotherms (e.g. zooplankton insects), whose metabolisms, therefore nutritional demands, modulated by temperature. Further, nutrient availability largely influences the quality of resources consumed these organisms, hence affects whether demands fulfilled. From considerations, a crucial question arises: how do temperature together modulate trophodynamics at basis food webs? Addressing this for insects is essential since most abundant metazoans on Earth, they link production to higher trophic levels. Here, we synthesize existing literature offer avenues guide future scientific endeavours. We highlight that vast majority studies combined influence published date focus least one following research topics: 1) metabolic requirements ectotherms; 2) feeding behaviour; 3) eco‐evolutionary processes; 4) trophodynamics. pose further advances field may provide robust understanding modulations consumer resource define consumer–producer interactions across marine, freshwater ecosystems. This effort would enable combine fields Ecological stoichiometry Metabolic theory ecology, create an integrated approach, which propose call Nutritional thermal ecology.

Adult pollinators that forage primarily for energy have traditionally guided our understanding of plant–pollinator interactions, leading to assumptions about the importance different plants pollinators. Consequently, pollinator conservation strategies potentially overlook balance juvenile diets. I studied a representative bee, Osmia bicornis, explore contributions various nutritional quality diet. Using ecological stoichiometry and micronutrient ecology, investigated proportions vital body-building chemical elements (C, N, P, S, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn Cu; henceforth "nutrients") in larval pollen loads. considered botanical origin, location sexual dimorphism niche as factors influencing nutrient Redundancy analysis indicated main factor determining proportion was which accounted 70.17% variation; contributed 20.21%, sex 8.43%. Among 30 taxa composing loads, determinants content were oak, maple, chestnut, cabbage family, buttercup, grasses. Trees wind-pollinated provided important nutrients. Oak maple contributors nutrients essential growth body development (N, Cu, Zn). Grasses buttercups is bees. Complex habitat management schemes extending beyond traditional seed mixes are conservation, non-obvious plant species provide should be included efforts create complex landscape enabling balanced
