A comparison of food sources of nudibranch mollusks at different depths off the Kuril Islands using fatty acid trophic markers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Gastropod molluscs such as nudibranchs are important members of deep-sea benthic ecosystems. However, data on the trophic ecology and feeding specialization of these animals are limited to date. The method of fatty acid trophic markers (FATM) was applied
