Adding complex trophic interactions to a size-spectral plankton model: emergent diversity patterns and limits on predictability (2011, background): “The first, sizespectral models (Moloney and Field, 1991; Gin et al., 1998; Baird and Suthers, 2007; Stock et al., 2008; Fuchs and Franks, 2010), map planktonic diversity onto a single variable, body size, and use allometric power laws to set growth rates, nutrient/light/prey response parameters,…”
Modelling spatial and temporal patterns in size-structured marine plankton communities: top -down and bottom -up controls (2014, background): “The results are also sensitive to smaller changes in the breadth of the optimal predator–prey size-preference kernel (Fuchs and Franks, 2010).”
Maximal feeding with active prey-switching: A kill-the-winner functional response and its effect on global diversity and biogeography (2014, background): “That means that the ingestion rate of a given predator species decreases with the range of prey species available for consumption (Fuchs and Franks, 2010) which affects the degree of predator-mediated complementarity (Thebault and Loreau, 2003).”
Bringing physics to life at the submesoscale (2012, background): “This ecosystem response to enrichment is an emergent property driven by the size-dependencies of fundamental biological rates such as growth, production and grazing [e.g., Rassoulzadegan and Sheldon, 1986; Fuchs and Franks, 2010; Poulin and Franks, 2010].”
