Metre-scale vertical zonation of corals and sponges on a deep-marine cliff reflects trophic resource partitioning

Metre-scale vertical zonation of corals and sponges on a deep-marine cliff reflects trophic resource partitioning

Abstract Corals and sponges are considered foundational species and can create biodiversity hotspots in the deep sea, yet little is known of their competitive interactions, particularly with respect to resource partitioning among benthic fauna. Here we report on the feeding ecology of deep-water cor...
