• Does warming enhance the effect of microzooplankton grazing on marine phytoplankton in the ocean? (2012, methodology): “We compiled a data set of m and m and affiliating measurements of temperature, chlorophyll a concentrations, and Bz from the literature, as an expansion of the data set previously compiled by Calbet and Landry (2004) (see Web Appendix, www.aslo.org/lo/toc/vol_57/ issue_2/0519a.html).”
• Capacity of herbivorous protists to control initiation and development of mass phytoplankton blooms (2009, background): “…the following 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 &…”
• POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND THE DEVELOPMENT AND PERSISTENCE OF ECOSYSTEM DISRUPTIVE ALGAL BLOOMS 1 (2006, background): “Because of their small size, these low-nutrient-adapted species are efficiently grazed by micro-zooplankton (e.g. protozoans) capable of rapid rates of growth (Ki rboe 1993, Calbet and Landry 2004).”
• Light as a driver of phytoplankton growth and production in the freshwater tidal zone of a turbid estuary (2011, background): “Additionally, we did not pre-filter the water samples before incubation because it is well known that the major phytoplankton consumers are phagotrophic protists (Calbet and Landry, 2004), which cannot be removed without removing the phytoplankton itself.”
• The ciliate-copepod link in marine ecosystems (2005, background): “Microzooplankton appeared to be important structural and functional components of planktonic ecosystems, acting as top predators within microbial food webs (Sherr & Sherr 2002, Calbet & Landry 2004).”
• The relative importance of microbial and classical food webs in a highly productive coastal upwelling area (2007, neutral): “Recently, Calbet and Landry (2004) demonstrated that”
• Combined constraints on global ocean primary production using observations and models (2013, result): “As has been shown before [Calbet, 2001; Calbet and Landry, 2004], ~80% of NPP is grazed by zooplankton.”
• Heterotrophic dinoflagellates: a significant component of microzooplankton biomass and major grazers of diatoms in the sea (2007, background): “…that in both eutrophic and oligotrophic pelagic systems, microzooplankton are quantitatively more significant grazers of phytoplankton biomass than mesozooplankton (organisms 200 to 2000 µm in size, including copepods and other metazoan grazers) (Sherr & Sherr 2002, Calbet & Landry 2004).”
• The reliability of grazing rate estimates from dilution experiments: Have we over-estimated rates of organic carbon consumption by microzooplankton? (2005, methodology): “Calbet and Landry (2004) state that microzooplankton grazing accounts for an a cross-system average of 64% of primary production within a range of 59 to 74%.”
• Phytoplankton blooms: a ‘loophole’ in microzooplankton grazing impact? (2005, background): “…McKeon, 2004), microzooplankton grazing is generally accepted as being the main predatory pressure on planktonic primary production, consuming 60–70% (Calbet and Landry, 2004), whereas mesozooplankton, and in particular copepods, consume in general 10–40% of the primary production (Calbet, 2001).”
• Biogeochemical fluxes through mesozooplankton (2006, positive): “This was calculated as the ratio of microzooplankton grazing to phytoplankton growth (57-75 %, Calbet and Landry , 2004) times the microzooplankton growth efficiency (30 %, Straile , 1997) times the primary production (50.7 Pg C·yr -1 , the average of the primary production estimates from Antoine…”
• The role of ciliates, heterotrophic dinoflagellates and copepods in structuring spring plankton communities at Helgoland Roads, North Sea (2011, methodology): “Microzooplankton dilution experiments, as applied here, provide us with an alternative to determine grazing rates of microzooplankton by indirect, labour-intensive, and taxonomically selective techniques (Landry and Hassett 1982; Calbet and Landry 2004).”
• Bridging the gap between marine biogeochemical and fisheries sciences; configuring the zooplankton link (2014, background): “Thus, voided organic matter will drive the microbial loop (Landry, 1993; Ducklow et al., 2002; Calbet and Landry, 2004).”
