Carbon (d13C) and nitrogen (d15N) stable isotope values of deep-sea benthic copepods, nematodes, and sediments were determined along a latitudinal transect covering bathyal and abyssal depths in the Southern Ocean and the Weddell Sea (49�S–70�S). This is the first time geographical patterns in stabl...
