One top-down approach to this challenge is to elucidate trophic roles of consumers as either specialists (i.e., consumers of predominantly one food resource) or generalists (i.e., consumers of multiple food resources) to categorize the dependence of consumers on each primary producer. At Hanna Shoal in the Chukchi Sea, Alaska, we used stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data to quantify trophic redundancy with standard ellipse areas at both the species and trophic guild levels. We also investigated species-level trophic plasticity by analyzing the varying extents that three end-members were assimilated by the food web using the mixing model simmr (Stable Isotope Mixing Model in R). Our results showed that ice algae, a combined phytoplankton and sediment organic matter composite (PSOM), and a hypothesized microphytobenthos (MPB) component were incorporated by consumers in the benthic food web, but their importance varied by species. Some primary consumers relied heavily on PSOM (e.g, the amphipods <i>Ampelisca</i> sp. and <i>Byblis</i> sp.; the copepod <i>Calanus</i> sp.), while others exhibited generalist feeding and obtained nutrition from multiple sources (e.g., the holothuroidean <i>Ocnus glacialis</i>, the gastropod <i>Tachyrhynchus</i> sp., the sipunculid <i>Golfingia margaritacea</i>, and the bivalves <i>Ennucula tenuis, Nuculana pernula, Macoma</i> sp., and <i>Yoldia hyperborea</i>). Most higher trophic level benthic predators, including the gastropods <i>Buccinum</i> sp., <i>Cryptonatica affinis</i>, and <i>Neptunea</i> sp, the seastar <i>Leptasterias groenlandica</i>, and the amphipod <i>Anonyx</i> sp. also exhibited trophic plasticity by coupling energy pathways from multiple primary producers including PSOM, ice algae, and MPB. Our stable isotope data indicate that consumers in the Hanna Shoal food web exhibit considerable trophic redundancy, while few species were specialists and assimilated only one end-member. Although most consumers were capable of obtaining nutrition from multiple food sources, the timing, quantity, and quality of ice-mediated primary production may still have pronounced effects on food web structure.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Trophodynamics of the Hanna Shoal ecosystem (Chukchi Sea, Alaska): Connecting multiple end-members to a rich food web","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-26 01:31:46.295382","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes; simmr; SIBER; Stable isotope mixing models; Chukchi Sea; Trophic redundancy; Trophic plasticity; Trophic guilds ","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2017,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-02-13","DateCreate":"2017-09-26","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000413800300014","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.dsr2.2017.08.010"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":289556,"PubliDate":2017,"Pagination":"175-189","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"144","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":45197,"SerRR":"Deep-Sea Research, Part II.
