Trophic niche breadth variability differs among three Neocalanus species in the subarctic Pacific Ocean

We determined trophic niche breadths of three dominant Neocalanus species using δ13C–δ15N variation among individuals. Trophic niche breadths differed among the congeneric copepods, depending on their body size and feeding habits.
