Feeding rates of macro‐ and microzooplankton on heterotrophic nanoflagellates [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1996 Thirteen metazooplankton and three ciliate species were examined for their ability to prey on heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF). Grazing losses of two species of HNF, Bodo saltans (kinetoplastid) and Spumella sp. (chrysomonad), were estimated in batch experiments by the disappearance of HNF in the presence or absence of predators.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Microzooplankton community structure, distribution, growth, and herbivory were examined in the eastern Fram Strait and Arctic Ocean shelf affected by the Atlantic water inflow in May (during the spring bloom) and August (post-bloom, summer stratification)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Coccolithophores are an important group of ∼200 marine phytoplankton species which cover themselves with a calcium carbonate shell called “coccosphere.” Coccolithophores are ecologically and biogeochemically important but the reason why they calcify ...

Killing the predator: impacts of highest-predator mortality on the global-ocean ecosystem structure [PDF]
BiogeosciencesRecent meta-analyses suggest that microzooplankton biomass density scales linearly with phytoplankton biomass density, suggesting a simple, general rule may underpin trophic structure in the global ocean.

Grazing mortality as a controlling factor in the uncultured non-cyanobacterial diazotroph (Gamma A) around the Kuroshio region [PDF]
BiogeosciencesNitrogen-fixing microorganisms (diazotrophs) significantly influence marine productivity by reducing nitrogen gas into bioavailable nitrogen. Recently, non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs (NCDs) have been identified as important contributors to marine ...

Protistan Communities Within the Galápagos Archipelago With an Emphasis on Micrograzers
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The Galápagos Archipelago is a globally significant biodiversity hotspot. However, compared to the relatively well-known megafauna, the distribution and ecological significance of marine protists in this system are poorly understood.

PLoS ONE, 2016 Ocean acidification is considered as a crucial stressor for marine communities. In this study, we tested the effects of the IPCC RPC6.0 end-of-century acidification scenario on a natural plankton community in the Gullmar Fjord, Sweden, during a long-term

Tintinnid ciliates of Amundsen Sea (Antarctica) plankton communities [PDF]
Polar Research, 2013 The Amundsen Sea has been described as one of the most productive and dynamic pelagic systems in Antarctica and is one of the least studied. Based on samples from 15 stations in the Amundsen Sea, we describe for the first time the composition of the ...

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
