abstract = {We here review the current knowledge on the trophic ecology of stoneflies, an aquatic insect group of substantial ecological
importance in lotic systems. We provide information on the feeding habits of nymphs and adults of the different families
and highlight those studies that support particularly interesting findings. Regarding nymphs, we discuss the state of the art
on aspects such as foraging strategies and behaviours, food acquisition mechanisms, the existence or absence of electivity
for certain trophic resources, and enzymatic activity and its relationship with the assimilation efficiency of food. For adults,
we highlight the differential importance of feeding among taxa. For both nymphs and adults, we report what is known
about their role in aquatic and terrestrial food webs. Finally, we present some of the gaps on the trophic ecology of these
insects and provide some research agendas that could be carried out to fill them.},
