Taxonomic identity best explains variation in body nutrient stoichiometry in a diverse marine animal community

Abstract Animal-mediated nutrient dynamics are critical processes in ecosystems. Previous research has found animal-mediated nutrient supply (excretion) to be highly predictable based on allometric scaling, but similar efforts to find universal predictive relationships for an organism’s body nutrien...
