Fig. 2

Stable isotope (13C and 15N) enrichment of sponge tissue during the 48-h pulse-chase experiment. Graphs show enrichment of DOM-derived 13C (a) and 15N (b), and POM-derived 13C (c) and 15N (d), into tissue of the HMA species P. angulospiculatus and the LMA species H. caerulea. Data display mean ± standard error (s.e.m) relative to unlabelled controls (Δδ13C and Δδ15N). The vertical dashed grey lines represent the end of the 3-h pulse phase, n = 3 per time-point, per species
