Autores: Vanden Berghe, W.; Bergmans, M.
Killed samples of a monoclonal bacterial strain and an axenic alga were offered in different proportions to &lt;i&gt;Tisbe holothuriae, T. battagliai&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;T. furcata&lt;/i&gt;. Incorporation of carbon ranged from 0.05 and 0.39 µg C (adult male)&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; d&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;. Using a radiolabelling technique, the ratio in which the two food types were assimilated was compared to the ratio in which they were offered. Neither &lt;i&gt;T. holothuriae&lt;/i&gt; nor its sibling species fed selectively under our conditions, but &lt;i&gt;T. furcata&lt;/i&gt; showed a clear preference for bacteria. These findings constitute the first evidence for intrageneric dietary differentiation in harpacticoids. The results of the...
