Trait-Based Community Ecology of Phytoplankton (2008, background): “…trade-offs in such cases: Marine diatoms, especially large-celled species, appear to be poor competitors for another essential nutrient, iron (Litchman et al. 2006, Sarthou et al. 2005, Timmermans et al. 2004), so a trade-off may exist between maximum growth rate and iron competitive ability.”
The fate of biogenic iron during a phytoplankton bloom induced by natural fertilisation: Impact of copepod grazing (2008, background): “When normalised to C, Fe contents and Fe uptake rates agreed well with Fe:C ratios measured during low Fe laboratory studies of open ocean diatom species (see Sarthou et al., 2005 and references herein).”
Phytoplankton competition during the spring bloom in four Plankton Functional Type Models (2012, background): “Several studies have found that maximum growth rate tends to decrease with increasing cell size (Sarthou et al., 2005; Finkel et al., 2010).”
The world ocean silica cycle. (2013, background): “Owing to diatoms’ ability to decrease, within limits, the silicon content of their frustules over successive generations (Sarthou et al. 2005), diatoms can maintain cell division rates close to their maximum, even when their specific rate of silicon uptake is significantly submaximal.”
Fast Regulation of Photosynthesis in Diatoms: Mechanisms, Evolution and Ecophysiology (2007, background): “Planktonic diatoms are usually abundant in marine and fresh turbulent waters and during periods of turbulence (Fogg 1991; Huisman et al. 2004; Sarthou et al. 2005).”
Carbon‐to‐chlorophyll ratio for phytoplankton in temperate coastal waters: Seasonal patterns and relationship to nutrients (2016, background): “A DIN value of 1 lmol L21 indicates nitrogen limitation, but not necessarily nitrogen depletion (Eppley et al. 1969; Sarthou et al. 2005).”
The life of diatoms in the world's oceans (2009, background): “In the open ocean, a relatively large proportion of diatom organic matter sinks rapidly from the surface, becoming food for deep-water organism”
Adaptive strategies by Southern Ocean phytoplankton to lessen iron limitation: Uptake of organically complexed iron and reduced cellular iron requirements (2011, background): “Similarly high optimal Fe : C ratios (between 35 and 43 mmol : mol based on 25 cited values) have been suggested by Sarthou et al. (2005) and de Baar et al. (2008).”
Global biogeochemical impacts of phytoplankton: a trait‐based perspective (2015, background): “They have low N: P ratios characteristic of the red superfamily, with an average of approximately 10:1 (Sarthou et al. 2005), and are most abundant in unstable, nutrient-rich waters with similarly low N”
Heterotrophic dinoflagellates: a significant component of microzooplankton biomass and major grazers of diatoms in the sea (2007, background): “Since bloom-forming diatoms are responsible for a large part of global new/export production in the sea (Sarthou et al. 2005, Barber & Hiscock 2006), understanding the pathways of this production is of compelling interest.”
Photoprotection capacity differs among diatoms: Possible consequences on the spatial distribution of diatoms related to fluctuations in the underwater light climate (2007, background): “It is also well known how iron as well as other nutrients (silica, nitrogen, phosphate) strongly influence the ecophysiology of diatoms, especially their photosynthetic physiology (Geider et al. 1993; Sunda and Huntsman 1997; Claquin et al. 2002; Staehr et al. 2002; Sarthou et al. 2005).”
A rising tide lifts all phytoplankton: Growth response of other phytoplankton taxa in diatom‐dominated blooms (2006, background): “[12] Diatom bloom initiation at onset of favorable environmental conditions is probably the most studied phenomenon in oceanography [Gaarder and Gran, 1927; Riley, 1946; Sverdrup, 1953;Ryther, 1969;Dugdale andWilkerson, 1998; Hiscock et al., 2003; Sarthou et al., 2005].”
Biogeochemical implications of comparative growth rates of Emiliania huxleyi and Coccolithus species (2014, background): “Larger cells have a lower 347 surface area to volume ratio, which reduces the diffusive nutrient uptake per unit volume of 348 the cell (Lewis, 1976; Finkel et al., 2009) and thus maximal growth rates generally increase 349 with decreasing cell size (Sarthou et al., 2005).”
Depth-stratified phytoplankton dynamics in Cyclone Opal, a subtropical mesoscale eddy (2008, methodology): “Cells 410 mm also were analyzed by EPI (250 ) on 250-mL samples preserved according to Sherr and Sherr (1993) and filtered onto 8.0-mm polycarbonate filters.”
