Sažetak
Stable isotope composition of soft tissues and carbonate tubes of the serpulids F. enigmaticus and M. cavatica were used to estimate their food sources. Comparison of isotope fingerprints of adjacent estuarine and anchialine cave serpulids showed that they consume predominantly particulate organic matter of terrestrial origin.
