Benthic foraminifera as trophic links between phytodetritus and benthic metazoans: carbon and nitrogen isotopic evidence (2008, background): “Such analyses have scarcely been applied to benthic meiofauna (Carman & Fry 2002, Moens et al. 2005) because the body mass of these taxa usually does not provide enough material for analysis.”
A review of Italian research on free-living marine nematodes and the future perspectives on their use as Ecological Indicators (EcoInds) (2015, background): “…Wieser (1953), confining nematode gen - era to a single trophic status (Heip et al ., 1985), may not represent the real complexity of nematodes feeding habitats (Moens & Vincx, 1997), with trophic plasticity being described for most feeding types (Moens et al ., 2005; Schratzberger et al ., 2008b).”
Trophic interactions in Zostera marina beds along the Swedish coast (2008, methodology): “The enrichment of 3.4‰ (1‰ SD; Post 2002) as a mean increase between trophic levels has been globally accepted and used recently (Sherwood & Rose 2005, Moens et al. 2005, Nyström et al. 2006), but considerable variations in the enrichment in δ15N between diet and consumer have been reported for…”
