Lakes were surveyed to assess the potential patterns of latitudinal variation in carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry of lower food web components. Thirty-four lakes were surveyed at an arctic latitude (68°38′N, 149°38′W) and 10 lakes at a temperate latitude (46°13′N, 89°32′W) during 199...
