<p><span>Global stressors such as climate change, invasive species, urbanization, agricultural practices, and pollution can alter aquatic resource subsidies to terrestrial consumers. The effects of these stressors on timing, quality, and quantity of aquatic subsidies, such as adult aquatic insects, to birds, herpetofauna, and mammals, have large implications for wildlife management (Baxter et al. </span><a id="first_rf2" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf2" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf2">2004</a><span>, Saunders and Fausch </span><a id="first_rf19" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf19" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf19">2007</a><span>, Walters et al. </span><a id="first_rf23" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf23" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf23">2008</a><span>, Sullivan and Rodewald </span><a id="first_rf22" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf22" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf22">2012</a><span>, Morrissey et al. </span><a id="first_rf12" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf12" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf12">2015</a><span>, Kraus et al. </span><a id="first_rf9" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf9" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf9">2016</a><span>, Larsen et al. </span><a id="first_rf10" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf10" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf10">2016</a><span>, Sullivan et al. </span><a id="first_rf20" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf20" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf20">2019</a><span>). For example, insect-mediated contaminant transport from polluted rivers expose song bird nestlings and other protected birds to potentially toxic levels of persistent organic contaminants and pharmaceuticals (Walters et al. </span><a id="first_rf24" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf24" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf24">2010</a><span>, Richmond et al. </span><a id="first_rf18" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf18" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf18">2018</a><span>). Recent declines in aquatic insect production caused by pollution and changes in land use have been tied to global declines in terrestrial insectivores such as birds and bats (Hallmann et al. </span><a id="first_rf5" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf5" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf5">2014</a><span>, Morrissey et al. </span><a id="" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf12" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf12">2015</a><span>, Raby et al. </span><a id="first_rf17" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf17" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf17">2018</a><span>). These natural-resource impacts from aquatic–terrestrial exposure and loss of resource subsidies are leading to changes in monitoring protocols and how management agencies evaluate the effectiveness of corrective remedies (Muehlbauer et al. </span><a id="first_rf13" class="ref showRefEvent" href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf13" data-mce-href="https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/705994#rf13">2019</a><span>). For researchers interested in the application of resource subsidy research, a logical next step is to help practitioners anticipate effects of global stressors on aquatic-terrestrial linkages and incorporate these principles into decision making.</span></p>
