Recruit combinations for SIA. To obtain enough mass, separated host or symbiont tissues from 8 to 10 recruits were combined onto a glass fiber filter prior to stable isotope analysis. Variation in the A relative ratio of symbionts (S. microadriaticum:B. minutum) and B symbiont density (cells/recruit) for the combined recruits is shown for each filter along the x-axis. The mean (points) and range (bars) of data are shown. Combinations were based on similarity in the relative ratio of symbionts as measured by qPCR; host and symbiont tissue combinations were maintained to generate host and symbiont filter pairs
