Spatial variability of microzooplankton grazing on phytoplankton in coastal southern Florida, USA [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Microzooplankton are considered the primary consumers of phytoplankton in marine environments. Microzooplankton grazing rates on phytoplankton have been studied across the globe, but there are still large regions of the ocean that are understudied, such ...

The Possession of Coccoliths Fails to Deter Microzooplankton Grazers [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Phytoplankton play a central role in the regulation of global carbon and nutrient cycles, forming the basis of the marine food webs. A group of biogeochemically important phytoplankton, the coccolithophores, produce calcium carbonate scales that have ...

Hydrographic Feature Variation Caused Pronounced Differences in Planktonic Ciliate Community in the Pacific Arctic Region in the Summer of 2016 and 2019 [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Planktonic ciliates are an important component of microzooplankton, but there is limited understanding of their responses to changing environmental conditions in the Pacific Arctic Region. We investigated the variations of ciliate community structure and

Microzooplankton grazing in the gulf of california
Ciencias Marinas, 2001 Microzooplankton (organisms < 200 μm) grazing rates were determined using the dilution technique at nine stations in the central region of the Gulf of California and one in the sill of the Guaymas Basin, during spring, summer, and autumn 1995.

Microzooplankton grazing in the Eastern Bering Sea in summer
Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2014 Dilution experiments to estimate microzooplankton grazing on phytoplankton were conducted during the summers of 2008, 2009, and 2010 in the Eastern Bering Sea as part of the BEST-BSIERP integrated ecosystem project. All three summers followed cold springs in the Bering Sea.

Heatwave‐induced functional shifts in zooplankton communities result in weaker top‐down control on phytoplankton [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFreshwater ecosystems are increasingly affected by rising annual mean temperatures and heatwaves. While heatwaves are expected to have more immediate effects than mean temperature increases on local communities, comparative experimental studies are ...

Microzooplankton production in the oceans [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2004 Abstract A literature synthesis of phytoplankton growth (μ) and grazing (m) rate estimates from dilution experiments reveals that microzooplankton account for most phytoplankton mortality in the oceans, averaging 60–75% of daily phytoplankton production (PP) across a spectrum of open-ocean and coastal systems. For reasonable estimates of

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The dilution experiment technique was used in two cruises in July-August (summer) and October-November (autumn) 2020, with a total of 14 stations. The grazing impact of microzooplankton on phytoplankton in the interior of Bohai Bay was comprehensively ...

High tolerance of microzooplankton to ocean acidification in an Arctic coastal plankton community [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on marine biota have been observed in a wide range of marine systems. We used a mesocosm approach to study the response of a high Arctic coastal microzooplankton community during the post-bloom period in Kongsfjorden ...
