• North Atlantic climate and northwestern Mediterranean plankton variability (2005, background): “For instance, Calbet et al. (2001) showed that with a 200mm mesh size plankton net, assessment of abundance of copepods of small size (e.”
• Blooms of the invasive ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi, span the Mediterranean Sea in 2009 (2010, background): “During the warm months, the diverse mesozooplankton community is predominated by filter-feeding organisms that efficiently consume the small fractions of the food web (Calbet et al., 2001).”
• Bridging the gap between marine biogeochemical and fisheries sciences; configuring the zooplankton link (2014, background): “It has been proposed that the succession of zooplankton may be dependent on the variations in the temperature (Adrian and Deneke, 1996; Calbet et al., 2001).”
• Estimating zooplankton biomass through image analysis (2003, background): “The natural variability sources have been partially reduced here by including in the analysis a wide range of zooplankton communities, from summer and winter ultra-oligotrophic and highly diverse western Mediterranean (Saiz et al. 1999; Calbet et al. 2001, 2002 ), to abundant, not diverse but taxon”
• Zooplankton and ichthyoplankton communities in a temperate estuary: spatial and temporal patterns (2006, background): “lack of seasonality in abundance was observed, a feature that was also observed in other coastal marine areas (Calbet et al., 2001; Fernández de Puelles et al., 2003).”
• Laboratory investigations on the effect of prey size and concentration on the feeding behaviour of Sardina pilchardus (2007, unknown): “4), which allows Iberian sardines to efficiently utilize all microplankton prey that dominate plankton abundance and sometimes biomass in coastal areas (Calbet et al. 2001, Turner 2004).”
• Ontogenetic and seasonal changes in the feeding habits and trophic levels of two small pelagic fish species (2012, background): “Low trophic-level species are directly influenced by the remarkable environmental differences be - tween seasons (Calbet et al. 2001).”
• The importance of small-sized copepods in a frontal area of the Aegean Sea (2007, background): “Knowledge about small copepods in the Mediterranean Sea is still very scarce (Böttger-Schnack, 1994, 1997; Calbet et al., 2001; Krsinic and Grbec, 2002).”
• Changes in zooplankton diversity and distribution pattern under varying precipitation regimes in a southern temperate estuary (2009, background): “Calbet et al. (2001) and Valdés et al. (2007) have shown how estuarine variability is reflected in the dynamics of the biological populations, particularly planktonic ones.”
• Seasonal patterns in plankton communities in a pluriannual time series at a coastal Mediterranean site (Gulf of Naples): an attempt to discern recurrences and trends (2004, background): “In this season the smaller size fraction (e.g. copepod nauplii) that we neglected in the present study may notably contribute to zooplankton numbers and/or biomass as reported for other Mediterranean coastal areas (Fernández de Puelles et al., 1998; Calbet et al., 2001).”
• The Importance of Small Planktonic Copepods and Their Roles in Pelagic Marine Food Webs (2004, background): “…Hopcroft and Roff 1998b), the North Sea (Nichols and Thompson 1991, Nielsen and Sabatini 1996), the Mediterranean (Siokou-Frangou et al. 1997, Calbet et al. 2001), the Red Sea (Böttger-Schnack 1988), the North Atlantic (Gallienne et al. 2001), the North and South Atlantic (Gallienne and…”
• The ciliate-copepod link in marine ecosystems (2005, background): “This approach is conservative, because small copepods have traditionally been severely undersampled due to the use of coarse net mesh sizes (Calbet et al. 2001, Gallienne & Robins 2001) and because this value does not include the contribution of mesopelagic zooplankton either.”
• Plankton in the open Mediterranean Sea: a review (2009, background): “The importance of the small-sized copepods has also been highlighted in Mediterranean coastal waters (Calbet et al., 2001).”
