• Trait-based approaches to zooplankton communities (2013, background): “It is well known that different zooplankton taxonomic groups are strongly associated with certain hydrographic and other physical and chemical conditions, as well as with phytoplankton composition (Calbet, 2008).”
• From Elements to Function: Toward Unifying Ecological Stoichiometry and Trait-Based Ecology (2017, background): “While planktonic herbivores may eat a very large percentage (70–80%) of the daily primary production (Calbet, 2008; Löder et al., 2011), in terrestrial ecosystems, plants are less nutritional and lose lower percentages of production to herbivores, and a higher level of C is channeled as detritus (Ce”
• Copepod feeding in the ocean: scaling patterns, composition of their diet and the bias of estimates due to microzooplankton grazing during incubations (2011, background): “…Agis et al., 2007; Modigh & Franze, 2009) and actually encompasses not only strictly defined microzooplankters (e.g. ciliates and dinoflagellates), but also grazing by heterotrophic nanoflagellates and multi-level trophic cascade effects (Calbet, 2008; Calbet et al., 2008; First et al., 2009).”
• Iron fertilization and the structure of planktonic communities in high nutrient regions of the Southern Ocean (2013, background): “diatoms among microphytoplankton, ingesting prey several times larger than their body length (Calbet, 2008).”
• Capacity of herbivorous protists to control initiation and development of mass phytoplankton blooms (2009, background): “…facts: (1) microzooplankton are more significant than metazooplankton grazers as consumers of phytoplankton biomass and production (Calbet & Landry 2004, Calbet 2008); and (2) protistan grazers are capable of growing as fast as their phytoplankton prey (Sherr & Sherr 1994, Strom & Morello 1998).”
• Bridging the gap between marine biogeochemical and fisheries sciences; configuring the zooplankton link (2014, background): “In this new defined structure phytoplankton as well as bacteria are consumed by protozoan grazers (Sherr and Sherr, 1994; Calbet, 2008), thus providing an additional food source for copepods and higher trophic levels.”
