Resource specialisation among suspension-feeding invertebrates on rock walls in Fiordland, New Zealand, is driven by water column structure and feeding mode

ABSTRACT: Sessile suspension feeders are an important component of benthic–pelagic coupling on subtidal rocky reefs. We used stable isotope analysis to investigate intra-specific variation in trophic level and composition of basal organic matter sources (macroalgae and phytoplankton) supporting food...
