Building the “perfect beast”: modelling mixotrophic plankton (2009, methodology): “The description of photosynthesis and photoacclimation within the core mixotroph photosystem follows that in Flynn (Flynn, 2001), with increasing ChlC up to a maximum set by ChlCmax developing with decreasing photon flux density (PFD), and decreasing ChlC occurring on nutrient depletion and/or at…”
Hurdles and challenges for modelling and control of microalgae for CO2 mitigation and biofuel production (2011, background): “More complex models have also been developed (Zonneveld, 1998; Flynn, 1991), but being more accurate in the detail of the described mechanisms, they involve more parameters and state variables, which makes their calibration, validation and use for control purposes more difficult.”
Placing microalgae on the biofuels priority list: a review of the technological challenges (2010, methodology): “There are, however, still aspects of metabolic engineering of organisms that are little understood, though some theoretical work has started to address this, for example an analysis using mechanistic models of phytoplankton (Flynn 2001) suggests that manipulations of factors affecting photosynthesis”
Chain model of phytoplankton P, N and light colimitation (2009, methodology): “…has been used to construct phytoplankton growth models describing the interactions of light and nutrient limitation (e.g. Laws & Chalup 1990, Geider et al. 1998), but few attempts have been made to include effects of different nutrient elements in a mechanistic theory (Flynn 2001, Flynn 2008).”
New cell-based model of photosynthesis and photo-acclimation: accumulation and mobilisation of energy reserves in phytoplankton (2009, methodology): “This approach assumes that Chl:C adjusts to maximise the photosynthesis rate (Flynn 2001) rather than in response to an index of excitation pressure such as that employed by Kana et al. (1997).”
A biodiversity‐inspired approach to aquatic ecosystem modeling (2007, background): “Obviously, the present model lacks a wealth of physiological detail (Geider et al. 1998; Flynn 2001; Pahlow 2005), and will not reproduce some features that emerge from detailed laboratory studies (e.g., photoinhibition, nutrient buffering).”
IN SEARCH OF A PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS FOR COVARIATIONS IN LIGHT‐LIMITED AND LIGHT‐SATURATED PHOTOSYNTHESIS 1 (2004, background): “In current ‘‘dynamic acclimation models’’ (Geider et al. 1998, Flynn 2001, Flynn et al. 2001), ab is assumed constant and only Pmax varies with nutrient stress (thus, Ek changes).”
Harmful algal blooms: How strong is the evidence that nutrient ratios and forms influence their occurrence? (2012, background): “A further class of models employ complex mechanistic explanations of growth and incorporate more realistic accounts of the main biochemical processes and pools within cells (e.g. Davidson and Gurney, 1999; Flynn and Hipkin, 1999; Flynn, 2001, 2005).”
Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry (2010, result): “These results and those from other multi-factorial and field experiments need to be compared and the capabilities of current models tested (Flynn, 2001; Flynn, 2003; Litchman et al., 2006) to test our mechanistic understanding.”
Acquired phototrophy in Mesodinium and Dinophysis – A review of cellular organization, prey selectivity, nutrient uptake and bioenergetics (2013, unknown): “Only the model of Flynn and Mitra (2009) provides a platform for exploring the contrasts between constitutive mixotrophs, and those (such as Mesodinium and Dinophysis) that are specialist nonconstitutive mixotrophs (thus acquiring chloroplasts from ingested prey).”
Investigation and sensitivity analysis of a mechanistic phytoplankton model implemented in a new modular numerical tool (Eco3M) dedicated to biogeochemical modelling (2006, methodology): “f upt Q3 1⁄4 1 Q=Qmax 1 Q=Qmax þ KQ Flynn (2003)”
Castles built on sand : dysfunctionality in plankton models and the inadequacy of dialogue between biologists and modellers (2005, background): “I have written before on the subject of the importance of model structure for descriptions of multi-nutrient phytoplankton growth dynamics, that different outputs may occur under dynamic situations, even though behaviour under steady state may be similar ( Flynn, 2001, 2003, 2005 ).”
Carbon‐based ocean productivity and phytoplankton physiology from space (2005, background): “Under such conditions, relationships between Chl:C and m become complicated and can require more complex ‘‘dynamic’’ physiological models [e.g., Geider et al., 1998; Flynn, 2001; Flynn et al., 2001] to unravel.”
The influence of changes in nitrogen:silicon ratios on diatom growth dynamics. (2004, background): “, 1993) and a ‘mechanistic’ approach to modelling (Flynn, 2001) may be necessary.”
