Characterizing dietary variability and trophic positions of coastal calanoid copepods: insight from stable isotopes and fatty acids (2009, background): “Changes in the feeding patterns of copepods have been shown to trigger trophic cascades and affect the growth of larval fish (St John et al. 2001; Stibor et al. 2004).”
Spring phenological responses of marine and freshwater plankton to changing temperature and light conditions (2012, background): “Copepods have complex life histories with relatively long development times and graze selectively on larger-sized algae ([20 lm) and ciliates, which releases small-sized cells from grazing by microzooplankton (Sommer et al. 2001; Stibor et al. 2004).”
Why biodiversity is important to oceanography: potential roles of genetic, species, and trophic diversity in pelagic ecosystem processes (2006, background): “Even slight disaggregation of traditional ‘boxes’ in these models can lead to dramatic changes in model predictions or experimental results (e.g. Stibor et al. 2004), suggesting that experimental approaches that either use simple systems with few species or that aggregate species into a manageable…”
Clearance rates of jellyfish and their potential predation impact on zooplankton and fish larvae in a neritic ecosystem (Limfjorden, Denmark) (2005, background): “Intense predation by jellyfish on certain prey can cause a shift in the trophic structure of the pelagic community as a result of trophic cascading (Behrends & Schneider 1995, Schneider & Behrends 1998, Stibor et al. 2004).”
Understanding cyanobacteria‐zooplankton interactions in a more eutrophic world (2014, background): “Further, copepods are known to switch between heterotrophic and phytoplankton food chains depending on food availability (Stibor et al., 2004).”
Cascading top-down effects of changing oceanic predator abundances. (2009, background): “However, more recent experiments with finer-scale taxonomic resolution suggested trophic cascades do reach the base of these food webs, but along two parallel food chains of contrasting length in which copepods reduce large algae but simultaneously promote small algae by feeding on ciliates, such th”
Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “Depletion of large grazers (including invertebrates) results in decreased predation on macro- and microzooplankton, leading to reductions in microzooplankton populations and increases in algal blooms in the nutrient-enriched environment (Merrell and Stoecker, 1998; Stibor et al., 2004; Vadstein et a”
