• Significance of predation by protists in aquatic microbial food webs (2004, background): “Omnivory in phagotrophic protists is potentially a stabilizing factor in the structure and functioning of pelagic food webs (Strom et al. 2000).”
• Functional responses for zooplankton feeding on multiple resources: a review of assumptions and biological dynamics (2003, background): “2d, Table 1), where no intake occurs for resource densities below a feeding threshold t: This threshold may be biologically justified or may be a proxy for other processes (Strom et al., 2000).”
• Spinning the “Ferrous Wheel”: The importance of the microbial community in an iron budget during the FeCycle experiment (2005, background): “…microbial foodweb is characterized by a tight coupling between prey (both heterotrophs and autotrophs) and predators (microzooplankton) [Landry et al., 1993] that probably accounts for the constancy of algal stocks within Fe-limited HNLC (high nitrate low chlorophyll) waters [Strom et al., 2000].”
• Novel interactions between phytoplankton and microzooplankton: their influence on the coupling between growth and grazing rates in the sea (2002, background): “A particular focus has been the role of grazing and its interaction with resource availability in structuring the food webs of high nitrate–low chlorophyll (HNLC) regions (Frost, 1987, 1991, 1993; Frost & Franzen, 1992; Loukos et al., 1997; Strom et al., 2000).”
• ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS CONTROLLING PHYTOPLANKTON PROCESSES IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN1 (2002, background): “Such increases in stocks are usually transient due to the usually tight coupling with microzooplankton grazers in HNLC waters (Frost 1991, Strom et al. 2000).”
• Phytoplankton growth, grazing and production balances in the HNLC equatorial Pacific (2011, background): “They might therefore be indicative of a threshold concentration of prey below which grazing effort (clearance rate) declines (e.g., Strom et al., 2000).”
• Capacity of herbivorous protists to control initiation and development of mass phytoplankton blooms (2009, background): “…<10 µm in size, it is generally accepted that grazing by herbivorous protists consumes much of the daily phytoplankton production, minimizing potential for blooms and leading to seasonal stability in phytoplankton stocks (Miller et al. 1991, Banse 1992, Strom et al. 2000, Calbet & Landry 2004).”
