Abstract
A key paradigm of deep-sea ecology is that the ocean interior is a food-limited environment, which limits the faunal growth. Here, we estimated the efficiency of deep-sea fauna in exploiting resources to assess the potential response of deep-sea organisms to changes in the food inputs expected with global change..I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
