• Invited Review - Fight on Plankton! or, Phytoplankton Shape and Size as Adaptive Tools to Get Ahead in the Struggle for Life (2011, background): “At the predator’s species level, size and shape remain first-order determinants of prey suitability (Tillmann, 2004).”
• Growth, feeding and ecological roles of the mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates in marine planktonic food webs (2010, background): “…(Nakamura et al. 1995), diatoms (Jacobson and Anderson 1986; Menden-Deuer et al. 2005; Yoo et al. 2009), other dinoflagellates (Adolf et al. 2007; Tillmann 2004), heterotrophic nanoflagellates (Jeong et al. 2007b), and ciliates (Hansen 1991; Bockstahler and Coats 1993a, 1993b) (Table 1).”
• Capacity of herbivorous protists to control initiation and development of mass phytoplankton blooms (2009, background): “However, the 6 Sherr & Sherr: Protistan control of phytoplankton blooms potential for microzooplankton to curtail bloom biomass is likely constrained in natural systems due to top-down control (Smetacek 1981, Tillmann 2004, Calbet & Saiz 2005, Irigoien et al. 2004).”
• The role of ciliates, heterotrophic dinoflagellates and copepods in structuring spring plankton communities at Helgoland Roads, North Sea (2011, background): “In contrast, ciliates can respond rapidly to enhanced food availability showing growth rates higher than those of dinoflagellates (Strom and Morello 1998) but their potential to survive starvation periods is low (Jackson and Berger 1985; Hansen 1992) and they are more restricted to certain prey item”
• The rise of predators (2011, background): “…today (e.g., Smetacek, 2001; Tillmann, 2004), and that the primary function of many protistan skeletons seems to be for defense (e.g., Hamm et al., 2003; Tillmann, 2004), it is reasonable to think that mineralized skeletons may have appeared ca. 750 Ma as a response to protistan predation.”
• PHENOTYPIC VARIATION AND GENOTYPIC DIVERSITY IN A PLANKTONIC POPULATION OF THE TOXIGENIC MARINE DINOFLAGELLATE ALEXANDRIUM TAMARENSE (DINOPHYCEAE) 1 (2010, background): “Allelopathic interactions among microalgal species or allelochemical defense against grazing may have a major effect in determining which species attain bloom concentrations in a certain plankton community (Smayda 1997, Tillmann 2004).”
• The effects of changing climate on microzooplankton grazing and community structure: drivers, predictions and knowledge gaps (2013, background): “Prey selectivity of microbial herbivores and its relationship to phytoplankton species composition and bloom development are well known (Strom et al., 2003; Tillmann, 2004).”
• Building the “perfect beast”: modelling mixotrophic plankton (2009, background): “Take a mixotroph and add toxicity to discourage your predators (Tillmann, 2004; Adolf et al., 2007b), and one has a potent red-tide bloom species (Smalley and Coats, 2002; Burkholder et al., 2008; Flynn, 2008c).”

• Microzooplankton grazing in the coastal Gulf of Alaska: Variations in top‐down control of phytoplankton (2007, background): “Larger dinoflagellates can be quite specific in their prey preferences (reviewed by Tillmann 2004) and may thus experience food limitation even in the midst of the seeming plenty of a diatom bloom.”
• Selective feeding behaviour of key free-living protists: avenues for continued study (2008, background): “For instance, dinoflagellates often exhibit a high degree of prey specificity (Hansen & Calado 1999, Tillmann 2004); e.g. the mixotroph Fragilidium subglobosum feeds exclusively on species from the genus Ceratium, preferring Ceratium tripos to Ceratium furca or Ceratium fusus (Skovgaard 1996,…”
• Control of the harmful alga Cochlodinium polykrikoides by the naked ciliate Strombidinopsis jeokjo in mesocosm enclosures (2008, background): “…Sengco and Anderson, 2004), NaOCl produced by the electrolysis of natural seawater (Jeong et al., 2002), protistan grazers (Jeong et al., 2003; Tillmann, 2004), algicidal bacteria (Imai et al., 1993; Doucette et al., 1999; Mayali and Azam, 2004), viruses (Nagasaki et al., 1999; Tarutani et…”
