Aquatic detritivores are highly sensitive to changes in temperature and leaf litter quality caused by increases in atmospheric CO2, and warming, on detritivore survival (at both community and organismal level) and detritus consumption rates. detritivores community consisted of the gathering-collector Polypedilum, the scraper and facultative filtering-collector Atalophlebiinae, and Calamoceratidae, a typical shredder. Diverse responses to poor litter quality were observed, negatively affecting detritivore performance and survival.Warming effects varied across taxonomic and functional feeding groups and biological level of organization. Our study revealed species-specific and scale-dependent responses, emphasizing the role of intra- and interspecific interactions in shaping these responses. understanding these emergente properties is crucial for accurately predicting climate change effects on freshwater ecosystem.
