Estimates of virus- vs. grazing induced mortality of picophytoplankton in the North Sea during summer (2008, background): “Limnol Oceanogr 43:1836–1849 Alonso-Laita P, Agusti S (2006) Contrasting patterns of phytoplankton viabilily in the subtropical NE Atlantic Ocean.”
Close coupling between phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in the western South China Sea (2009, background): “The disproportionately high rates of mortality on Prochlorococcus relative to other populations suggests a Prochlorococcus-specific mortality effect that scales with the dilution effect on population density, which precludes a direct effect of viruses (Baudoux et al. 2007).”
Phytoplankton growth, grazing and production balances in the HNLC equatorial Pacific (2011, background): “…note that the growth-grazing balance demonstrated here is net of other processes, such as viral-induced mortality or programmed cell death (e.g., Bidle and Falkowski, 2004; Baudoux et al., 2007; Franklin et al., 2006), which function essentially as closed loops of phytoplankton production to DOC.”
