Trophic modification of essential fatty acids by heterotrophic protists and its effects on the fatty acid composition of the copepod Acartia tonsa (2006, background): “Rhodomonas salina is considered a good-quality alga due to its ability to support high egg production and naupliar growth rates in copepods ( Tang et al. 2001 ).”
Effects of dietary fatty acids on the reproductive success of the calanoid copepod Temora longicornis (2005, methodology): “The advantage for copepods in feeding on heterotrophic organisms could lie in the heterotrophs possible role in upgrading the nutritional value of primary producers or acting as accumulators of small particles otherwise not accessible to the copepods (Klein Breteler et al. 1999; Tang et al. 2001 ).”
Microzooplankton grazing in Phaeocystis and diatom-dominated waters in the southern North Sea in spring (2004, background): “…such as Temora longicornis and Acartia tonsa, preferentially prey upon ciliates and dinoflagellates during Phaeocystis blooms (Hansen and Van Boekel, 1991; Hansen et al., 1993; Tang et al., 2001) and therefore actually enhance rather than suppress Phaeocystis concentrations (Hansen et al., 1993).”

Role of essential lipids in copepod nutrition: no evidence for trophic upgrading of food quality by a marine ciliate (2004, methodology): “Also in other crustaceans, Daphnia spp. (Tezuka 1974, DeBiase et al. 1990) and several species of cyclopoid copepods (Abdullahi 1992), grown using bacterivorous ciliates as food, the requirements for essential lipids may have been met by contamination from the bacterial media.”
Carbohydrate production by phytoplankton and degradation in the marine microbial food web (2006, background): “When the flagellate cells that develop inside colonies detach from the colony matrix, they are readily grazed upon by microzooplankton (Weisse and Scheffel-Möser 1990; Tang et al. 2001).”
Grazing and colony size development in Phaeocystis globosa (Prymnesiophyceae): the role of a chemical signal (2003, background): “For example, many copepods can graze on a monospecific diet of solitary Phaeocystis sp. cells [summarized in Tang et al. (Tang et al., 2001)], but prefer alternative food if Phaeocystis sp. cells are offered in a mixture with other food particles (Hansen et al., 1993; Tang et al., 2001).”
The temporal dynamics of the flagellated and colonial stages of Phaeocystis antarctica in the Ross Sea (2003, background): “The results of previous studies support the finding that solitary, flagellated cells of Phaeocystis spp. are readily ingested by microzooplankton (e.g., Verity et al., 1988; Weisse and Scheffel-M .oser, 1990; Weisse et al., 1994; Tang et al., 2001).”
Trophic upgrading of autotrophic picoplankton by the heterotrophic nanoflagellate Paraphysomonas sp. (2006, background): “…that heterotrophic protists as the sole food source are of low quality for zooplankton (Sanders et al. 1996; Bec et al. 2003a), whereas others have argued that HNFs feeding on microalgae are a high-quality food for zooplankton (Klein Breteler et al. 1999; Tang et al. 2001; Bec et al. 2003b).”

The relative importance of microbial and classical food webs in a highly productive coastal upwelling area (2007, background): “…and Dicrateria spp. at rates of 29 to 83 cells grazer21 h21 (Verity 1985), and the ciliates Strombidium vestitum and Rimostrombidium conicum were reported to feed on Isochrysis galbana or Phaeocystis globosa in a range of 17 to 25 and 20 to 75 cells grazer21 h21, respectively (Tang et al. 2001).”

Harmful Algae Interactions with Marine Planktonic Grazers (2006, background): “Laboratory studies within the last decade reveal similar selective feeding variability, for a variety of grazers, including protists (Granéli and Johansson 2003) and copepods (Teegarden 1999; Tang et al. 2001; Dutz et al. 2005).”
