Citations in the corpus
- Plankton in the open Mediterranean Sea: a review (2009, background): “These high values contrast with those for the Aegean Sea, where ciliate abundance was always lower than 5×102 cells l−1 (Pitta and Giannakourou, 2000).”
- The importance of small-sized copepods in a frontal area of the Aegean Sea (2007, background): “The values of nutrients, plankton biomass and production are generally low as in other oligotrophic areas of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Kucuksezgin et al., 1995; Mazzochi et al., 1997; Ignatiades et al., 2002; Pitta and Giannakourou 2000; Christaki et al., 1999).”
- Planktonic ciliates in the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea: longitudinal trends of standing stocks, distributions and analysis of food vacuole contents (2001, background): “Nanociliates were also found to form an important part of the ciliate community in the Eastern Mediterranean as was reported for the Aegean Sea by Pitta & Giannakourou (2000).”
- Acquired phototrophy in aquatic protists (2009, background): “Aegan Sea, Oligotrophic, In spring, PO 17–54% of total ciliate abundance and Pitta & Giannakourou (2000) 0–100 m, 13–62% of ciliate integrated biomass.”
- Mixotrophic protists and a new paradigm for marine ecology: where does plankton research go now? (2019, background): “That said, some NCMs are nano-sized, at least in the oligotrophic ocean (Pitta and Giannakourou, 2000; Pitta et al., 2001).”
- Trophic impact and prey selection by crustacean zooplankton on the microbial communities of an oligotrophic coastal area (NW Mediterranean Sea) (2004, background): “In this study, mean and maximum values of ciliate and phytoplankton standing stocks found, as well as ciliate composition, were typical of Mediterranean coastal waters (Perez et al. 1997, Vaqué et al. 1997, Pitta & Giannakourou 2000, Modigh 2001).”
