The paper assesses seasonal variations in carbon and nitrogen processing by macrozoobenthos and identifies taxon-specific metabolic activity differences in intertidal organisms.

The paper investigates short-term carbon and nitrogen cycling and metabolic activity of intertidal organisms in response to enriched bacterioplankton in summer and autumn.

This study investigates the ecological roles of echinoderms in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone, finding that brittle stars consume organic matter from foraminifera and sponges, while some species rely on stalks to access prey.

This study measures feeding and metabolic activity in marine sponges using stable isotopes and finds that sponges incorporate 13C, 15N, and 2H into their tissue and PLFAs, with 2H uptake indicating metabolic activity.

This study investigates carbon and nitrogen uptake and processing in intertidal sediments using stable isotopes, finding that microbial hotspots drive variability in substrate processing.
