COPROPHAGY IN MARINE ANIMALS1
Open accessAbstract
Rates of coprophagy were determined in 38 feeding studies. The animals consumed from 0 to 83% of their body weight in fecal pellets during 48 hr. The fecal pellets used included those of the polychaete Onuphis microcephala, a prosobranch gastropod (family Ilydrobiidae), the pelecypod Crassostrea virginica, the crustaceans Callianassa major and Penaeus setiferus, and the telcost Mugil cephalus. The animals offered these pellets included three polychaetes, four gastropods, three pelecypods, seven crustaceans, and three telcosts. Coprophagy rates are compared with calculated maintenance food requirements of the test animals. Fecal ingestion rates were positively correlated with carbon and nitrogen contents of the pellets. The potential effects of coprophagy in marine ecosystems arc discussed emphasizing the effect of coprophagy on the overall energy transfer efficiency of marine food chains.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
