• Influence of light and temperature on Prochlorococcus ecotype distributions in the Atlantic Ocean (2007, background): “Top-down controls of Prochlorococcus are still not well understood but are generally believed to consist of protozoan grazing and lysis during phage infection (Monger et al. 1999; Calbet et al. 2001; Sullivan et al. 2003).”
• Phytoplankton growth, microzooplankton grazing, and carbon cycling in marine systems (2004, background): “Although additional levels may be possible where PP is dominated by tiny prokaryotes (e.g., Calbet and Landry 1999; Calbet et al. 2001), relatively little new respiration is added with more transfers.”
• Protistan Grazing on Marine Bacterioplankton (2008, background): “The predominance of HNF as marine bacterivores has been confirmed by manipulations with sizefractionated natural assemblages (Calbet et al. 2001; Wikner and Hagström 1988) and by direct observation of protists with ingested fluorescent bacteria (Sherr and Sherr 1991; Unrein et al. 2007).”
• 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): “Perhaps grazing on small microzooplankton by large microzooplankton and metazoans are reducing grazing pressure on small algae by limiting small microzooplankton biomass? These trophic cascades have been described in oceanic ecosystems (Shiomoto et al., 1997; Calbet et al., 2001 ).”
• The trophic roles of microzooplankton in marine systems (2008, background): “Flagellates ,2 mm in size were feeding directly on prokaryotes, while 2–3 mm flagellates were feeding on them, and in turn, they were the prey of 3–5 mm flagellates (Calbet et al., 2001).”
• Novel interactions between phytoplankton and microzooplankton: their influence on the coupling between growth and grazing rates in the sea (2002, background): “Several recent papers point to the existence of complex trophic cascades within marine microplankton communities, suggesting that topdown control of protist populations sets limits on net growth (Wikner & Hagström, 1988; Calbet et al., 2001; Dolan, 1991).”
• Seasonal variations in the dynamics of microbial plankton communities: first estimates from experiments in the Gulf of Trieste, Northern Adriatic Sea (2003, result): “Our results confirmed the strong grazing impact of HNAN on heterotrophic bacteria (e.g. Rassoulzadegan & Sheldon 1986, Kuuppo-Leinikki et al. 1994 and references therein; Calbet & Landry 1999, Becquevort et al. 2000, Calbet et al. 2001), but not on cyanobacteria.”
• Microzooplankton production in the oceans (2004, background): “For open-ocean and tropical ecosystems, where microzooplankton consume the highest amount of PP and where the tiny size of dominant primary producers leads to many levels of protistan consumers ( Calbet et al., 2001 ), MPtot should average about 35% and O50% of PP for GGEZ 30% and 40%, respectively.”
