Building the “perfect beast”: modelling mixotrophic plankton (2009, methodology): “As in our previous models (e.g. Flynn, 2001, 2003; Mitra, 2006), we make frequent use of normalized sigmoidal functions to provide feedback response curves.”
Planktonic ecosystem models: perplexing parameterizations and a failure to fail (2009, background): “this (see in particular Flynn, 2003, for a thoughtful discussion of this issue).”
Castles built on sand : dysfunctionality in plankton models and the inadequacy of dialogue between biologists and modellers (2005, background): “The structure in models may be biologically flawed (Flynn, 2003) or based on factoids that are not necessarily well founded (‘small organisms are better at nutrient acquisition and grow faster’; ‘one species does it so let us assume all do it’).”
Plankton functional type modelling : running before we can walk? (2005, background): “Overly simplistic formulations should not be used if demonstrably superior alternatives are available, an example being the erroneous use of Monod models when simulating multi-nutrient limitation of phytoplankton (Flynn, 2003).”
Scaling-up from nutrient physiology to the size-structure of phytoplankton communities (2006, background): “…limitation is determined by the maximum diffusive flux possible and surge uptake considerations are ignored, we favour this simple set of equations over more sophisticated descriptions that are important for the simulation of time-series (Flynn, 2003), or multiple limiting nutrients (Flynn, 2002).”
End-To-End Models for the Analysis of Marine Ecosystems: Challenges, Issues, and Next Steps (2010, unknown): “…and nutrient environments (Geider et al. 1996; Flynn 2003; Pahlow 2005; Armstrong 2006); optimal acclimation of nutrient uptake by phytoplankton (Flynn 2003; Smith et al. 2009); the emergence of alternative phenotypes in phytoplankton (Follows et al. 2007); changes in the migration of fish…”
Investigation and sensitivity analysis of a mechanistic phytoplankton model implemented in a new modular numerical tool (Eco3M) dedicated to biogeochemical modelling (2006, background): “fQ1) function giving intermediate results between the Geider et al. (1998) and Flynn (2003) ones, and the linear expression from Lehman et al. (1975) for f”
Linking chlorophyll-nutrient dynamics to the Redfield N:C ratio with a model of optimal phytoplankton growth (2005, background): “For example, the difference between nitrate and ammonium assimilation can be handled by varying ζ, but the interaction between ammonium and nitrate uptake (Flynn 2003) was not included.”
