Relationships of primary producer C:N ratio with various parameters of L. stagnalis. The average C:N ratio of the algae (red for diatoms and green for chlorophytes), cyanobacteria (blue) and the mixed diet (grey) in each treatment (a, b, N = 7) is plotted versus the average ingestion rate of L. stagnalis in the respective treatment (a, N = 7), the average snail somatic growth rate in the respective treatment (b, N = 7), or the C:N ratio of the algae and cyanobacteria in each treatment (c, mean ± 1 SE; N = 7) versus ingestion rate of L. stagnalis in the respective treatment (c, mean ± 1 SE; N = 7)
