Experimental evidence for internal predation in microzooplankton communities
Marine Biology, 2013The fate of microzooplankton production, whether it is channeled to mesozooplankton or recycled within the microbial food web, has major implications for the oceanic carbon cycle. The aim of this study was to estimate internal predation within naturally occurring microzooplankton communities.

Microzooplankton and seston in Akkeshi Bay, Japan
Hydrobiologia, 1976Microzooplankton populations and other seston components in the water column were sampled from a central station in Akkeshi Bay, Japan for a year. The measurements reported in the present study constitute the first work on seasonal variation of microzooplankton and other seston components in Akkeshi Bay.

Microzooplankton Feeding Behavior and the Levy Walk
1990We propose a Levy random walk model for the grazing behavior of swimming microzooplankton. In this model the path of the organism consists of straight line segments which are traversed at constant speed. The segments are at random angles, which correspond to sudden changes in direction, and the lengths of the line segments are random, with probability ...

Microzooplankton community composition along the Western Antarctic Peninsula
Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2013Abstract Microzooplankton are an integral part of aquatic food webs, yet compared to macrozooplankton, are understudied in the Southern Ocean. The region along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is experiencing rapid climate warming, resulting in declines in sea ice extent and duration, and affecting the marine food web. Microzooplankton community

Grazing impact of microzooplankton upon phytoplankton
2009Alterations of freshwater flow regimes and increasing eutrophication can lead to alterations in phytoplankton biomass, composition, and growth in estuaries and adjacent coastal waters. Since phytoplankton is the first trophic level of most aquatic foodwebs, these changes can be propagated to other biological compartments, eventually impacting water ...

Microzooplankton herbivory during the diatom-Phaeocystis spring
2011The dilution technique was used to investigate microzooplankton grazing and phytoplankton growth in the eastern English Channel during the diatom-Phaeocystisspring succession from January 2009 to June 2009. Four periods were defined based on phytoplankton composition: Periods 1, 2 and 4 composed of distinct diatom communities of small (5-20 μm length ...

Guilds of ciliate microzooplankton in the Chesapeake Bay
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 1991Abstract The composition and abundance of three major guilds, or different trophic groups, of ciliates are reported for the Chesapeake Bay. Ciliates were classified either (a) macrophagous (consumers of nanoplankton-size or larger prey), (b) microphagous (consumers of picoplankton-size prey), or (c) predatory (consumers of other ciliates).

Winter distribution of microzooplankton in the Nordic Seas
No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Winter investigations of both phytoplankton and microzooplankton in open oceans are few, hence we know very little about the processes taking place outside the traditional growth seasons.Hegseth, Else Nøst, Backhaus, Jan
