The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The ciliate-copepod link in marine ecosystems (2005, background): “For instance, high copepod predation pressure may benefit species of ciliates with behavioral responses to avoid predation (e.g. Tontonia spp., Mesodinium spp., Dolan & Pérez 2000).”
Acquired phototrophy in aquatic protists (2009, background): “Total oligotrich abundance is positively correlated with chlorophyll in the sea and the percentage of oligotrichs that are photosynthetic is relatively constant, averaging 30% (Dolan & Perez 2000).”
MIXOTROPHY IN THE ANTARCTIC PHYTOFLAGELLATE, PYRAMIMONAS GELIDICOLA (CHLOROPHYTA: PRASINOPHYCEAE) 1 (2003, background): “The existence of mixotrophs has been recognized for more than a century, and estimates suggest that nanomixotrophs can be abundant in marine and freshwater plankton (Sanders 1991, Dolan and Pérez 2000, Hitchman and Jones 2000).”
Mixotrophic Plankton in the Polar Seas: A Pan-Arctic Review (2018, background): “, 1994), assuming that the volume to chlorophyll a relationship is similar to that in autotrophic plankton (Dolan and Perez, 2000).”
Mixotrophic protists and a new paradigm for marine ecology: where does plankton research go now? (2019, background): “A common conception is that mixoplankton are inferior to their phytoplankton or protozooplankton counterparts with respect to their expression of traits such as photosynthesis, nutrient uptake and feeding (Dolan and Pérez, 2000; Litchman et al., 2007; cf. Calbet et al., 2011).”
