• Trophic relationships along a bathymetric gradient at the deep-sea observatory HAUSGARTEN (2009, background): “Still less is known about deep-sea environments from polar regions which are frequently covered by ice and are thus even less accessible (Iken et al., 2005; Mintenbeck et al., 2007).”
• Trophic structure and food resources of epipelagic and mesopelagic fishes in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre ecosystem inferred from nitrogen isotopic compositions (2015, background): “Interestingly, slope-based demersal food web studies from the Atlantic and Antarctic have also used bulk stable isotopes to examine the variability of food resources with depth (Iken et al. 2001; Mintenbeck et al. 2007; Trueman et al. 2014).”
• Diet of worms emended: an update of polychaete feeding guilds. (2015, background): “These baseline values vary with water depth (e.g., Kojima & Ohta 1989, Mintenbeck et al. 2007) and with organic enrichment, e.g., from sewage inputs (Sampaio et al. 2010).”
• Nitrogen and carbon isotope values of individual amino acids: a tool to study foraging ecology of penguins in the Southern Ocean (2009, background): “Mintenbeck et al. (2007) showed a significant increase in the δ15N values of benthic suspension feeders with water depth on the Weddell Sea shelf (up to 1000 m).”
• Stable C and N isotopic composition of cold-water corals from the Newfoundland and Labrador continental slope: Examination of trophic, depth and spatial effects (2008, background): “Antarctic suspension feeders largely feed on these small particles (Gili et al., 2001; Orejas et al., 2003), so they too become 15N enriched with depth (Mintenbeck et al., 2007).”
