Abstract Terrestrial subsidies shape aquatic ecosystem structure and function, serving as important energy channels for consumers when phytoplankton and other autochthonous resources are limited. Despite this, quantifying the assimilation of allochthonous nutrients by aquatic consumers can be challenging. Here, we show terrestrial plants, benthic algae,
