Abyssal deposit feeders are secondary consumers of detritus and rely on nutrition derived from microbial communities in their guts
Abstract Trophic ecology of detrital-based food webs is still poorly understood. Abyssal plains depend entirely on detritus and are among the most understudied ecosystems, with deposit feeders dominating megafaunal communities. We used compound-specific stable isotope ratios of amino acids (CSIA-AA)...
