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 ...

Microzooplankton Communities in a Changing Ocean: A Risk Assessment [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 Microzooplankton communities are fundamental components of marine food webs and have the potential to impact the functioning of carbon pumps. The identification of common responses of microzooplankton to global change has been challenging due to their ...

Microzooplankton production in the oceans [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2004 A literature synthesis of phytoplankton growth (It) and grazing (m) rate estimates front dilution experiments reveals that microzooplankton account for most phytoplankton mortality in the oceans, averaging 60-75% of daily phytoplankton production (PP ...

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 ...

Biogeochemical fluxes through microzooplankton
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2010 [1] Microzooplankton ingest a significant fraction of primary production in the ocean and thus remineralize nutrients and stimulate regenerated primary production. We synthesized observations on microzooplankton carbon-specific grazing rate, partitioning

Benthic Microalgae Respond More Strongly to Warming and Salinity Than Zooplankton. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe effects of multiple simultaneous stressors on different trophic levels are poorly known. Warming changed the composition of both benthic diatom and zooplankton communities, but the interaction of warming and decreasing salinity affected only benthic diatoms. ABSTRACT The effects of elevated temperature are pronounced in high latitudes where warming

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, 2013 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.

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 ...
