Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “Microcystis blooms in lakes typically occur when small-sized zooplankton dominate (Allan, 1977; Edmondson and Litt, 1982; Wang et al., 2010).”
Comparison of cyanobacterial and green algal growth rates at different temperatures (2013, background): “The important role of grazing and nutrients in steering the phytoplankton community composition at high temperatures (mean water temperatures of about 36 C in the afternoon) was demonstrated recently when nutrient additions alone led to chlorophyte dominance, but nutrients and zooplankton to cyanoba”
Understanding cyanobacteria‐zooplankton interactions in a more eutrophic world (2014, background): “Copepods may be expected to facilitate cyanobacteria by grazing selectively on their phytoplankton competitors (Wang et al., 2010), resulting in more persistent blooms (Scheffer & Rinaldi, 2000; Mitra & Flynn, 2006).”
