• Phytoplankton growth, microzooplankton grazing, and carbon cycling in marine systems (2004, background): “…of protists, there is more capability (among dinoflagellates, in particular) for preying on large phytoplankton, including diatoms and cell chains, than generally appreciated (e.g., Strom and Buskey 1993; Hansen et al. 1994; see also Landry et al. 2000; Strom et al. 2001; Landry et al. 2002).”
• Capacity of herbivorous protists to control initiation and development of mass phytoplankton blooms (2009, background): “…herbivorous protists, including ciliates and heterotrophic dinoflagellates, regularly consume a significant fraction of phytoplankton standing stocks and biomass production in the ocean is indisputable (Strom et al. 2001, Calbet & Landry 2004, Strom et al. 2007, Calbet 2008, Landry et al. 2008).”
• Phytoplankton seasonal dynamics in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon: emphasis on the picoeukaryote community (2005, unknown): “grazing as an important loss process for phytoplankton in coastal waters (Strom et al., 2001), and the tight correlation between picoplanktonic growth and microzooplankton grazing (Table III) suggests a high transfer efficiency of picophytoplankton production to higher trophic levels.”
• Modelling phytoplankton succession on the Bering Sea shelf: role of climate influences and trophic interactions in generating Emiliania huxleyi blooms 1997 2000 (2004, background): “There is a growing body of evidence in oligotrophic regions (Lessard and Murrell, 1998) but also in eutrophic areas (Strom et al., 2001) that microzooplankton (i.”
• Intense stratification leads to phytoplankton nutrient limitation and reduced microzooplankton grazing in the southeastern Bering Sea (2008, unknown): “In eight of the remaining 18 experiments, the seawater dilution technique was used to estimate phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing rates (Landry and Hassett, 1982); methods are described in detail in Strom et al. (2006).”
• Interactions between Planktonic Microalgae and Protozoan Grazers1 (2004, background): “Strom et al. (2001) compiled phytoplankton growth (m) and microzooplankton grazing (g) rate data (based on dilution experiments) from coastal ecosystems over the world and showed average grazing/growth ratios ranging from 0.17 to 1.15, with an average value of g:m taken across all experiments and…”
• Growth physiology and fate of diatoms in the ocean: a review (2005, background): “In coastal, as well as open ocean environments, 45–110% of the standing stock of diatoms can be removed each day by microzooplankton grazing (Verity et al., 1996a; Nejstgaard et al., 1997; Landry et al., 2000a; Calbet, 2001; Strom et al., 2001; Olson and Strom, 2002; Suzuki et al., 2002).”
• Relative grazing impact of microzooplankton and mesozooplankton on a bloom of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum (2003, background): “…doubt about the significance of microzooplankton grazing in shaping dinoflagellate net growth, which reinforces recent reports on the relative importance of microzooplankton over large metazoans as predators in highly productive environments (Calbet 2001, Strom et al. 2001, Calbet & Landry 2003).”
• Phytoplankton growth, microzooplankton herbivory and community structure in the southeast Bering Sea: insight into the formation and temporal persistence of an Emiliania huxleyi bloom (2002, background): “, 1991; Sherr and Sherr, 1992; Lessard and Murrell, 1998) and are capable of consuming >100% of primary production (Gifford, 1988; Burkill et al., 1993; Verity et al., 1996; Lessard and Murrell, 1998; Strom et al., 2001).”
