• Lipid biomarkers and trophic linkages between phytoplankton, zooplankton and anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) larvae in the NW Mediterranean (2006, background): “…experiments (Ederington et al., 1995), and it has been suggested that the fatty acid composition of the ciliates more or less resemble that of their food (i.e. bacteria, flagellates and algae), transferring fatty acids without further conversion (Broglio et al., 2003; Klein Breteler et al., 2004).”
• Shifts in Zooplankton Community Structure: Implications for Food Web Processes in the Upper San Francisco Estuary (2011, background): “Calanoids prey primarily on highly nutritious phytoplankton (Gifford et al. 2007), such as diatoms and cryptophytes (Brett and Müller-Navarra 1997), whereas L. tetraspina capitalizes mainly on ciliates that prey on bacteria (Bouley and Kimmerer 2006).”
• Trophodynamics and seasonal cycle of the copepod Pseudocalanus acuspes in the Central Baltic Sea (Bornholm Basin): evidence from lipid composition (2006, background): “Feeding of Pseudocalanus spp. on ciliates (Klein Breteler et al. 2004) and heterogeneous particulate matter was documented in laboratory studies (Poulet 1974, 1976; Pavlovskaya and Pechen´-Finenko 1975 as cited by Corkett and McLaren 1978).”
• Microzooplankton grazing and phytoplankton growth in marine mesocosms with increased CO 2 levels (2008, background): “Ciliates may also be a high quality prey for larger organisms (Stoecker and Capuzzo, 1990), although it is not clear whether this is due to their biochemical composition or size alone (Klein Breteler et al., 1999; Koski, 2007; Koski and Rampen, 2004; Koski and Wexels Riser, 2006).”
