Mean δ15N of the organic matrix of coral samples. White and grey boxes differentiate samples, whereas dashed lines separate trials. Black squares mark specimen analyzed using the dialysis/combustion method19; triangles mark samples analyzed using the persulfate/denitrifier method24. Error bars are one standard deviation from the mean. Z = zooxanthellate coral (modern), AZ = azooxanthellate coral (modern), Z-like = zooxanthellate-like coral (fossil), AZ-like = azooxanthellate-like coral (fossil). Holo. = Holocene, Mio. = Miocene, Olig. = Oligocene.
