Morpho-Functional Groups and phytoplankton development in two deep lakes (Lake Garda, Italy and Lake Stechlin, Germany) (2007, methodology): “Besides grazing, size and shape are important for influencing losses from suspension (Padisák et al., 2003b).”
Temperature and the size of freshwater phytoplankton (2020, methodology): “(relative to that of a sphere of the same volume), this is quantified by the ‘form resistance’ factor added to the Stoke’s Equation (Padisák et al., 2003).”
Disaggregation of Microcystis aeruginosa colonies under turbulent mixing: laboratory experiments in a grid-stirred tank (2004, background): “Shape can also effect the rising and sinking velocity of phytoplankton (Padisák et al., 2003), and more work is required to parameterize this effect for modelling populations of M.”
Water-Level Fluctuations in Mediterranean Reservoirs: Setting a Dewatering Threshold as a Management Tool to Improve Water Quality (2005, methodology): “Relative water column stability (RWCS) was calculated, according to Padisák et al. (2003a), by comparing the density difference between bottom (Db) and surface (Ds) water to the density difference between 4 C (D4) and 5 C (D5) of pure water, using the formula: RWCS ¼ Db Ds D4 D5 Water density was…”
Variability in the provision and function of mucilage in phytoplankton: facultative responses to the environment (2007, background): “Mucilaginous threads are trailed by filaments of the diatom Thalassiosira and, likely, by many other kinds of planktic alga (Padisák et al., 2003a) Mucilage investments vary in texture, from being robust and readily visible under the light microscope (e.g., Microcystis wesenbergii) to being, as in…”
Shape and size in phytoplankton ecology: do they matter? (2007, background): “Entrainment in the mixed water column is one of the strategies used by phytoplankton to explore and exploit these resources and the extent of such entrainment largely depends on shape and size (Padisák et al., 2003).”
