• Predator–prey interactions: is ‘ecological stoichiometry’ sufficient when good food goes bad? (2005, background): “Flynn ( Flynn, 2002a ) criticised this approach, arguing that the kinetics of nutrient transport could easily outweigh those of assimilation, pointing out that traditional phytoplankton quota models contain no link between variable transport kinetics and phytoplankton nutrient status with which to e”
• Scaling-up from nutrient physiology to the size-structure of phytoplankton communities (2006, background): “…limitation is determined by the maximum diffusive flux possible and surge uptake considerations are ignored, we favour this simple set of equations over more sophisticated descriptions that are important for the simulation of time-series (Flynn, 2003), or multiple limiting nutrients (Flynn, 2002).”
• Building the “perfect beast”: modelling mixotrophic plankton (2009, background): “Flynn (Flynn, 2002) discusses the importance of the surge transport capacity; like the nutrientstress linked changes in transport capacity for N-sources (Flynn et al., 1999) this capacity is likely linked to P-stress. upP ¼ ðPC , PCabsÞ mphot PCmax 5 ððPCu .”
• Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “However, slowly growing, nutrient-stressed phytoplankton may also be capable of short-term “luxury” uptake of the limiting nutrient in excess of growth, leading to highly variable N:P ratios under transient conditions (Flynn, 2002 ); thus, the change in N:P ratio with algal growth rate is not neces”
• IS THE GROWTH RATE HYPOTHESIS APPLICABLE TO MICROALGAE? 1 (2010, background): “…freshwater green planktonic microalga Selenastrum as well as seedlings of the dicotyledonous tree Betula and found very limited agreement with the GRH (see also Goldman et al. 1979, Elrifi and Turpin 1985, Flynn 2002, Gusewell 2004, Klausmeier et al. 2004, Knecht and Goransson 2004, Niklas 2006).”
