Photosynthesis and respiration in marine phytoplankton: Relationship with cell size, taxonomic affiliation, and growth phase (2014, neutral): “…ecologicalmodels often require the representation of size-dependent physiological traits of phytoplankton (Armstrong, 1994; Irwin et al., 2006; Ward et al., 2012) but rely on the use of sizescaling parameters obtained from literature reviews (Litchman et al., 2007; López-Urrutia et al., 2006).”
Dimensions of marine phytoplankton diversity (2019, methodology): “8b) is controlled not only by the rate of supply of the limiting nutrients, but also by size-specific grazing (Armstrong, 1994; Poulin and Franks, 2010; Ward et al., 2012).”
Maximal feeding with active prey-switching: A kill-the-winner functional response and its effect on global diversity and biogeography (2014, background): “Switching among food classes can also be included (Ward et al., 2012).”
A trait-based approach to ocean ecology (2018, background): “While the latter two issues are now being developed, current multi-trophic trait-based models are mainly size based (Banas, 2011; Ward et al., 2012) with a few exceptions (Pahlow et al.”
Physical controls of variability in North Atlantic phytoplankton communities (2015, background): “Although light is generally abundant at these latitudes, the limited supply of nutrients leads to low phytoplankton biomass and to assemblages dominated by picoplankton and flagellates, with larger cells such as diatoms being relatively scarce (Tarran et al. 2006; Ward et al. 2012).”
Modeling What We Sample and Sampling What We Model: Challenges for Zooplankton Model Assessment (2017, background): “, 2005), or size (Griffiths et al., 2010;Ward et al., 2012; Savina et al., 2013;Watson et al., 2013; Pedersen et al., 2016), or a combination of these.”
Global biogeochemical impacts of phytoplankton: a trait‐based perspective (2015, background): “Although the general allometric trend is for larger species to grow more slowly (Edwards et al. 2012), the smallest phytoplankton tend to grow more slowly than intermediate-sized diatoms and coccolithophores (Ward et al. 2012; Mara~n on 2014), which is consistent with this modelling approach.”
Is there a difference of temperature sensitivity between marine phytoplankton and heterotrophs? (2017, background): “Given the large impact of PFTs on l0 values, inclusion of PFTs in phytoplankton models seems necessary (Irwin et al. 2006; Ward et al. 2012).”
Modelling spatial and temporal patterns in size-structured marine plankton communities: top -down and bottom -up controls (2014, methodology): “(Ward et al ., 2012).”
Phytoplankton competition during the spring bloom in four Plankton Functional Type Models (2012, background): “On the other hand, diatoms tend to have larger maximum growth rate than nanophytoplankton of the same cell size (Tang, 1995; Finkel et al., 2010; Ward et al., 2012) although many diatoms are larger than any nanophytoplankton.”
