Organic Carbon and Nitrogen Isoscapes of Reef Corals and Algal Symbionts: Relative Influences of Environmental Gradients and Heterotrophy

The elemental (C/N) and stable isotopic (δ¹³C, δ¹⁵N) compositions and compound-specific δ¹⁵N values of amino acids (δ¹⁵N_AA) were evaluated for coral holobionts as diagnostic tools to de...
