On the roles of cell size and trophic strategy in North Atlantic diatom and dinoflagellate communities (2013, background): “…also that temperature may play a direct role by increasing heterotrophic growth rates in warm conditions preferentially relative to photoautotrophs (Rose and Caron 2007), though it is unclear the extent to which this mechanism could account for the difference between the smaller and larger…”
The effects of changing climate on microzooplankton grazing and community structure: drivers, predictions and knowledge gaps (2013, background): “Additionally, extremely low environmental temperatures exert a strong constraint on the trophic activities, metabolic activities and growth rates of microzooplankton (Caron et al., 2000; Rose and Caron, 2007).”
The biological pump in a high CO 2 world (2012, background): “Rose & Caron (2007) demonstrated that as temperatures increased in microcosm experiments microzooplankton growth rates became greater than phytoplankton growth rates.”
Is there a difference of temperature sensitivity between marine phytoplankton and heterotrophs? (2017, methodology): “Since we believe that the previously reported Ea values of phytoplankton are likely underestimates, previous reasoning that warming will drive the plankton ecosystem toward heterotrophy due to the lower Ea of phytoplankton, may be problematic (L opezUrrutia et al. 2006; Rose and Caron 2007).”
Zooplankton and the Ocean Carbon Cycle. (2017, methodology): “…potential effects, including alteration of the relative rates of production and grazing resulting from different temperature dependencies of autotrophic and heterotrophic rate processes, as suggested by the metabolic theory of ecology (e.g., Brown et al. 2004, Rose & Caron 2007, Chen et al. 2012).”
Capacity of herbivorous protists to control initiation and development of mass phytoplankton blooms (2009, background): “The toxic and mechanical properties of some bloom-forming phytoplankton proposed by Irigoien et al. (2005) and temperature constraints on protist growth rates proposed by Rose & Caron (2007) undoubtedly are factors in the reduced grazing response of herbivorous protists.”
Physical controls of variability in North Atlantic phytoplankton communities (2015, background): “For example, growth rates of zooplankton and phytoplankton have different sensitivities to temperature (Rose and Caron 2007); many larger zooplankton, such as copepods, have multiple developmental stages and relatively long generation times that are dependent on temperature (Kiørboe and Hirst…”
Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry (2010, background): “…of changes in temperature on species from different trophic levels; this could alter phytoplankton species composition and the timing of blooms (Rose and Caron, 2007), and could be catastrophic for higher trophic levels that may be cued to environmental factors other than temperature (Edwards…”
Predicting marine phytoplankton maximum growth rates from temperature: Improving on the Eppley curve using quantile regression (2008, methodology): “Furthermore, estimation of the edges of scatter graphs using quantile regression is not burdened by arbitrary decisions about data partitioning and the numbers of size classes (Scharf et al. 1998), as is the case when binning approaches are used (e.g., Blackburn et al. 1992; Rose and Caron 2007).”
Building the “perfect beast”: modelling mixotrophic plankton (2009, background): “Temperature is suspected to affect protistan phagotrophic activity with a different Q10 to that for phototrophy (Rose and Caron, 2007).”
Synergistic effects of iron and temperature on Antarctic phytoplankton and microzooplankton assemblages (2009, background): “Temperature has also been hypothesized to constrain growth of heterotrophic protists relative to phototrophic protists at the extreme low temperatures characteristic of polar regions (Rose and Caron, 2007).”
