Trophic diversity of chemosymbiont hosts in deep-sea hydrothermal vents using amino acid nitrogen isotopes
Chemosymbiotic species inhabiting deep-sea hydrothermal vents are known to rely on microbial symbionts for nutrition. However, the relative contributions of heterotrophic energy sources to their diets remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the trophic positions (TP) of symbiont-bear...
