Ecology and Diversity of Picoeukaryotes (2008, background): “In an Atlantic transect from 508N to 508S, the abundance of picoeukaryotes was low at all latitudes, but still constituted a substantial part of total picophytoplankton biomass at most latitudes (Marañón et al. 2001; Zubkov et al. 1998).”
Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems: Mann/Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems (2005, background): “Maranon et al. (2001) noted that in the summer oligotrophic phase picophytoplankton account for about 56% of the carbon fixation and over 70% of the autotrophic biomass.”
Temperature, resources, and phytoplankton size structure in the ocean (2012, background): “The commonly observed association between cold (warm) temperature and a dominance of large (small) phytoplankton (Agawin et al. 2000; Marañón et al. 2001; Hilligsøe et al. 2011) stems from the fact that temperature is broadly anti-correlated with nutrient supply in marine waters (Kamykowski and…”
Bio-optical provinces in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and their biogeographical relevance (2011, background): “Thus we agree with Marãnón et al. (2001) that picophytoplankton should not be regarded as a background and relatively invariant component of the community, but rather as a main driver of most of the latitudinal variability in total photoautotrophic www.biogeosciences.net/8/3609/2011/…”
Vertical distribution of phytoplankton biomass, production and growth in the Atlantic subtropical gyres (2006, unknown): “Vertical distribution of phytoplankton size fractions The importance of small phytoplankton cells in the oligotrophic regions of the ocean is well established in terms of Chl-a concentrations, cell abundances and primary production rates (e.g., Zubkov et al., 1998; Maranõ´n et al., 2001).”
NEW LIGHT ON THE SCALING OF METABOLIC RATE WITH THE SIZE OF ALGAE (2002, result): “These predictions are not uniformly in agreement with the observed distribution of the organisms (Chisholm 1992, Raven 1998, 1999a, Agawin et al. 2000a,b, Marañón et al. 2001); thus the deepest growing photolithotroph is a benthic alga with a relatively large package effect (Raven et al. 2000).”
High variability of primary production in oligotrophic waters of the Atlantic Ocean: uncoupling from phytoplankton biomass and size structure (2003, unknown): “Previous studies within the AMT programme have reported the latitudinal patterns in picophytoplankton composition (Zubkov et al. 1998, 2000) as well as phytoplankton photophysiology (Marañón & Holligan 1999), production (Marañón et al. 2000) and size structure (Marañón et al. 2001).”
Composition and significance of picophytoplankton in Antarctic waters (2009, background): “Indeed, a recent survey of the Atlantic Ocean from 50°N to 50°S found that picoplankton averaged 74% of the autotrophic biomass (Marañón et al. 2001).”
Modelling spatial and temporal patterns in size-structured marine plankton communities: top -down and bottom -up controls (2014, background): “Atlantic (Cavender-Bares et al., 2001; Marañón et al., 2001), and has also been inferred through the synthesis of in situ and remote observations (Uitz et al.”
Scaling-up from nutrient physiology to the size-structure of phytoplankton communities (2006, background): “…rates that have been reported for diatom-enriched macroplankton size fractions versus smaller size fractions from tropical (Furnas, 1991; Malone et al., 1993; Maranon et al., 2001), temperate (Tamigneaux et al., 1999; Cermeño et al., 2005a, 2005b), and polar regions (Legendre et al., 1993).”
Maximal feeding with active prey-switching: A kill-the-winner functional response and its effect on global diversity and biogeography (2014, unknown): “However, at higher latitudes (e.g. Southern Ocean) the most dominant group should be the diatoms instead of the flagellates (Boyd et al., 2000; Gall et al., 2001; Marañon et al., 2001; Hoffmann et al., 2006; Hirata et al., 2011).”
Thoughts on the evolution and ecological niche of diatoms (2021, background): “Instead, the most successful phytoplankton would be the prokaryotes and picoeukaryotes (Marañón et al. 2001).”
