• The role of marine aggregates in the ingestion of picoplankton-size particles by suspension-feeding molluscs (2008, background): “in which picoplankton at concentrations 10–10 higher than that suspended in the water column (Waite et al. 2000) can be rapidly delivered to the benthos (Kriest and Evans 1999; Waite et al.”
• Selective Capture and Ingestion of Particles by Suspension-Feeding Bivalve Molluscs: A Review (2018, unknown): “Particle aggregation (flocculation) scavenges smaller particles, such as picoplankton and bacteria (Waite et al. 2000), which increases their bioavailability to suspension feeders.”
• Evidence for aggregation and export of cyanobacteria and nano-eukaryotes from the Sargasso Sea euphotic zone (2010, background): “…and nano-plankton were exported to depth (e.g., Pfannkuche and Lochte, 1993; Urban et al., 1993; Nodder and Gall, 1998; Thibault et al., 1999; Waite et al., 2000), and; (2) aggregation, for example,15 appears to be an important process in exporting these particles to depth because the…”
• Chemical and Biological Studies of Particulate Organic Matter in the Ocean (2002, background): “For the high nutrient low chlorophyll (HNLC) waters over the Chatham Rise east of New Zealand (Waite et al., 2000), it was estimated that 9.3 mg C m–2yr–1 of prokaryotic picoplankton biomass could be transported below the euphotic zone by this mechanism.”
• Autotrophic picoplankton in mesozooplankton guts: evidence of aggregate feeding in the mesopelagic zone and export of small phytoplankton (2010, methodology): “Paired day/night tows were conducted at 9 discrete depth intervals (0–50, 50–100, 100–150, 150–200, 200–300, 300–400, 400–500, 500–750, and 750–1000 m) using a 1 m2, 335 µm mesh MOCNESS (Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System, Wiebe et al. 1985) and IONESS (Intelligent Operati”
• The effect of in situ iron addition on the sinking rates and export flux of Southern Ocean diatoms (2001, methodology): “After aspirating o! overlying water, polyacrylamide gels were removed from MULTI-traps, dried for 12 h, and scanned using a Nikon stereoscopic SMZ-U dissecting microscope with an attached CCD camera and SONY Videocam (Waite et al., 2000).”
