Compared with terrestrial insects, emergent aquatic insects are rich in omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Shipley et al. show that aquatic insect phenology is advancing more rapidly than bird phenology. Consequently, birds that rely on aquatic insects for fatty acids are likely to encounter nutritional mismatches with climate change.
