Ontogenetic changes in dietary carbon sources and trophic position of two co-occurring horseshoe crab species in southwestern China

Understanding which food sources are nutritionally important at nursery grounds is critical in the conservation of the dwindling populations of horseshoe crabs in Asia. We used δ13C and δ15N values to define life-stage changes in dietary carbon sources and trophic position of 2 co-occurring horsesho...
