Microbial processes in a high-latitude fjord (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard): II. Ciliates and dinoflagellates (2011, background): “In a recent review of culture-based growth studies, Sherr and Sherr (2009) found maximal growth rates of heterotrophic ciliates and dinoflagellates reduced by 50% at food concentrations of 0.25–5 lg Chl a l-1 and to be zero at 0.1–2 lg Chl a l-1.”
The effects of changing climate on microzooplankton grazing and community structure: drivers, predictions and knowledge gaps (2013, background): “Moreover, the applicability of this relationship to certain types of protists has been questioned (Sherr and Sherr, 2009), leaving an additional question that must be addressed.”
The role of ciliates, heterotrophic dinoflagellates and copepods in structuring spring plankton communities at Helgoland Roads, North Sea (2011, background): “copepod grazing) on microzooplankton can be severe (Sherr and Sherr 2009), especially in a restricted mesocosm environment, and can cause strong trophic cascade effects (Sommer et al.”
Feeding in the dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina: linking behaviour with mechanisms (2011, background): “However, if we assume an ‘average’ value of 50 (Sherr and Sherr, 2010) we find that much of the data presented in Fig.”
