Diatoms–copepods: An evolutionary arms race
Abstract Diatoms and copepods are dominating and diverse groups of phytoplankton and zooplankton, respectively. Diatoms account for 25–40% of ocean primary production, and their main predators, copepods, are arguably the most abundant group of metazoans in the ocean, typically accounting for ~ 80% of zooplankton biomass.
