The relative importance of dispersal and local processes in structuring phytoplankton communities in a set of highly interconnected ponds (2008, background): “Thus, phytoplankton community structure in lentic freshwater habitats has traditionally been explained by bottom-up and topdown local factors (e.g. Sommer et al., 1986; Reynolds et al., 2002; Wetzel, 2001).”
Linking traits to species diversity and community structure in phytoplankton (2010, background): “…pioneered in phytoplankton ecology by Margalef, Reynolds, and Sommer (Margalef , 1978; Reynolds, 1984; Sommer, 1984; Reynolds, 1988; Sommer, 1988; Reynolds et al., 2002) and are now being further developed by many researchers (Rojo, 1998; Weithoff, 2003; Litchman et al., 2007; Litchman &…”
A comparison of phytoplankton community assemblages in artificially and naturally mixed subtropical water reservoirs (2006, positive): “The dominance of these genera in this environment is consistent with the functional groups of freshwater phytoplankton typically found in warm, eutrophic lakes and reservoirs (Reynolds et al., 2002). Aphanothece, Aphanizomenon and the Aphanocapsa/Merismopedia/Cyanodictyon group are within the K and ”
Water-Level Fluctuations in Mediterranean Reservoirs: Setting a Dewatering Threshold as a Management Tool to Improve Water Quality (2005, background): “According to the functional classification of phytoplankton proposed by Reynolds et al. (2002) , a sequence LM fi J (with M representatives) fi P is recognizable in 2003 whereas in 2001 a rather permanent presence of representatives of the M association was recorded in the studied period.”
Functional diversity of crustacean zooplankton communities: towards a trait‐based classification (2007, background): “A similar strategy has also been proposed for phytoplankton to be applied to ecological questions such as the intermediate disturbance hypothesis, insurance hypothesis and alternative stable state shifts in lakes (Reynolds et al., 2002; Weithoff, 2003).”
Climate-induced shifts in an experimental phytoplankton community: a mechanistic approach (2007, background): “Furthermore, the effect of rising temperatures on species performances will depend not only on their temperature tolerance, but also on other species-specific characteristics such as nutrient requirements, buoyancy and light requirements (Reynolds et al., 2002).”
Trait-Based Community Ecology of Phytoplankton (2008, background): “British phytoplankton ecologist Colin Reynolds (Reynolds 1984a,b, 2006; Reynolds et al. 2002) developed a detailed classification of different functional groups of phytoplankton based on their morphological and physiological traits, similar to the Grime’s (1977) CSR (competitors, stress tolerators,…”
Effects of Egeria densa Planch. beds on a shallow lake without piscivorous fish (2003, background): “There were nineteen different functional groups or associations (sensu Reynolds et al., 2002) characteristic of different trophic states.”
Picophytoplankton in Freshwater Ecosystems: The Importance of Small-Sized Phototrophs (2008, background): “The natural co-occurrence and simultaneous increase or decrease in the numbers of some species may indicate the existence of ‘functional associations’ (Reynolds et al., 2002) which thus help us to interpret and predict their dynamics.”
Steady-state assemblages in a Mediterranean hypertrophic reservoir. The role of Microcystis ecomorphological variability in maintaining an apparent equilibrium (2003, background): “According to Reynolds et al. (2002) , the sequence of associations LM → M (with F representatives) → LM → P characterised the phytoplankton dynamics in the studied period.”
Functional groups in marine phytoplankton assemblages dominated by diatoms in fjords of southern Chile (2008, methodology): “The present work constitutes the first attempt at applying the scheme proposed by Reynolds ( Reynolds, 1988, 1996, 1997 ) and Reynolds et al. (Reynolds et al., 2002) to identify functional groups of marine planktonic diatoms, considering their occurrence in relation to different levels of nutrients ”
Impacts of multiple stressors on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: the role of species co‐tolerance (2004, background): “For example, instead of treating phytoplankton as a homogenous group of primary producers, we can divide them into functional groups based on size, morphology, or physiological parameters (Klug and Cottingham 2001, Reynolds et al. 2002).”
Phytoplankton ecology of Lake Kivu (eastern Africa) (2006, neutral): “A very convenient and commonly used approach to synthesize the ecology of lacustrine phytoplankton is the functional classification of algal assemblages proposed by Reynolds et al. (Reynolds et al., 2002).”
