Adding complex trophic interactions to a size-spectral plankton model: emergent diversity patterns and limits on predictability (2011, background): “Gentleman et al. (2003) highlights the wealth of biological implications that go along with any choice of functional form for grazing, most of them probably unintended and possibly pathological.”
Pelagic functional group modeling: Progress, challenges and prospects (2006, neutral): “…it is well known that these different ARTICLE IN PRESS R.R. Hood et al. / Deep-Sea Research II 53 (2006) 459–512 491 grazing formulations have a profound impact on model equilibrium solutions, stability and trophic transfer (Steele and Henderson, 1992; Kemp et al., 2001; Gentleman et al., 2003).”
Castles built on sand : dysfunctionality in plankton models and the inadequacy of dialogue between biologists and modellers (2005, background): “Sometimes this may be obvious (Monod versus quota models for Si use by diatoms; Flynn, 2003, 2005) while others may have important ramifications under certain situations (ratio-based prey selectivity functions; Gentleman et al., 2003).”
Does warming enhance the effect of microzooplankton grazing on marine phytoplankton in the ocean? (2012, background): “There are a number of expressions for f(Pi), which is usually a decreasing function of Pi (Gentleman et al. 2003).”
ERSEM 15.06: a generic model for marine biogeochemistry and the ecosystem dynamics of the lower trophic levels (2015, methodology): “The total prey available to each zooplankton type χ are composed of the individual prey types ψ using type II Michaelis–Menten-type uptake capacities (Chesson, 1983; Gentleman et al., 2003) as”
Bridging the gap between marine biogeochemical and fisheries sciences; configuring the zooplankton link (2014, background): “3) and usually set as a constant (Fasham et al., 1990; Gentleman et al., 2003), but which in the context of responding to quality and quantity is not constant (Mitra and Flynn, 2007).”
A size‐structured food‐web model for the global ocean (2012, background): “Zooplankton types do not modify their attack rate according to the density of individual prey types, as this has no empirical justification (Gentleman et al. 2003).”
Why biodiversity is important to oceanography: potential roles of genetic, species, and trophic diversity in pelagic ecosystem processes (2006, background): “Several oceanographers have recently emphasized the necessity of doing so, and recent advances in this direction have been quite promising (e.g. Armstrong 2003, Gentleman et al. 2003, Le Quéré et al. 2005).”
Finite-Difference Schemes for Reaction–Diffusion Equations Modeling Predator–Prey Interactions in MATLAB (2007, background): “Type II functional responses are the most frequently studied functional responses and well documented in empirical studies (for review, see Gentleman et al., 2003; Jeschke et al., 2002; Skalski and Gilliam, 2001). It is important to note that the above model takes into account the invasion of the pr”
Maximal feeding with active prey-switching: A kill-the-winner functional response and its effect on global diversity and biogeography (2014, neutral): “The first objective of this work is to identify the origin of the observed incompatibility between active switching and maximal ingestion in current formulations of predation on multiple prey (Gentleman et al., 2003).”
