• 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.”
• Trophic ecology of nematodes from various microhabitats of the Roscoff Aber Bay (France): importance of stranded macroalgae evidenced through δ13C and δ15N (2003, background): “However, in contrast to macrofauna, smaller organisms such as meiofauna have been subject to very few stable isotope studies due to low biomass and methodological constraints of performing accurate analyses (Couch 1988, Riera et al. 1996, Carman & Fry 2002, Moens et al. 2002).”
• Exploitation of natural food sources by two sympatric, invasive suspension-feeders: Crassostrea gigas and Crepidula fornicata (2007, background): “Diets can also differ qualitatively despite a high degree of similarity in natural isotope deviations (e.g. Carman & Fry 2002).”
• Stable isotope addition reveals dietary importance of phytoplankton and microphytobenthos to saltmarsh infauna (2008, methodology): “One way to increase the power of stable isotope studies is to add isotope labels (Hughes et al. 2000, Carman & Fry 2002, Levin et al. 2006, van Oevelen et al. 2006a,b).”
• Carbon movement and assimilation by invertebrates in estuarine habitats at a scale of metres (2004, methodology): “Different letters indicate significant differences in ani-mal signatures among positions Mar Ecol Prog Ser 278: 27–34, 2004 the importance of MPB to mangrove animals using recently developed techniques for manipulating isotopic signatures of algae (e.g. Winning et al. 1999, Carman & Fry 2002).”
• Dual stable isotope abundances unravel trophic position of estuarine nematodes (2005, methodology): “…(Riera et al., 1996; Middelburg et al., 2000; Moens et al., 2002), but not the suggestion that nematode communities in salt marshes additionally draw upon more refractory, vascular plant-derived organic matter, which is isotopically heavier (Couch, 1989; Riera et al., 1999; Carman & Fry, 2002).”
