The role of mixotrophic protists in the biological carbon pump (2013, neutral): “They are typically associated with enhanced illumination and inorganic nutrient availability coupled with an absence of effective grazing control (Irigoien et al., 2005), favouring rapid proliferation of strict phototrophs (e.”
Predator–prey interactions: is ‘ecological stoichiometry’ sufficient when good food goes bad? (2005, background): “This has clear ecological implications as predator growth is limited by these responses, affecting zooplankton population size (Irigoien et al., 2005).”
Harmful algal blooms and eutrophication: “strategies” for nutrient uptake and growth outside the Redfield comfort zone (2011, background): “High-biomass algal blooms often result in reduced transfer of energy to higher trophic levels, as many HAB species are not efficiently grazed, resulting in a decreased transfer of carbon and other nutrients to fish stocks when HAB species replace more readily consumed algal species (Irigoien et al.,”
Thoughts on the evolution and ecological niche of diatoms (2021, background): “Ecological Monographs Vol. 0, No. 0 C O N C E P TS & S YN TH E S IS and, indeed, it is more often that background species during a bloom climax dominate during winter (e.g., Irigoien et al. 2005, Bolaños et al. 2020).”
Scaling-up from nutrient physiology to the size-structure of phytoplankton communities (2006, neutral): “…Munawar, 1986; Ahrens and Peters, 1991), but the trended change with nutrient concentration has not always been observed in marine systems (Cavender-Bares et al., 2001), and in the English Channel average cell size was inversely related to nitrate and silicate concentration (Irigoien et al., 2005).”
The role of nutrients in regulation and promotion of harmful algal blooms in upwelling systems (2010, background): “This is perhaps not surprising, given the numerous ecological niches, and spatial and temporal opening and closing of ‘‘ecological windows” (Irigoien et al., 2005; Bernard et al., 2006; Stoecker et al., 2008) that are inherent to the dynamic environments of eastern boundary current upwelling systems”
Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “The dominance of such species can result in a failure of normal predator–prey interactions, which, in turn, enhances the transfer of nutrients that sustain the harmful algal blooms at the expense of competing algal species (Irigoien et al., 2005; Mitra and Flynn, 2006; Sunda et al., 2006).”
Temperature, resources, and phytoplankton size structure in the ocean (2012, background): “Irigoien et al. (2005) noted that the key relationship is ‘‘not between cell size and nutrients, but between cell size and growth rates or growing conditions.’’”

Harmful Algae Interactions with Marine Planktonic Grazers (2006, background): “Thus, it has recently been suggested that phytoplankton blooms, including harmful ones, may be in response to “loopholes” in the normal microzooplankton grazing controls exerted on bloom development by the microbial loop (Irigoien et al. 2005).”
Eutrophication and Harmful Algal Blooms: A Scientific Consensus (2008, background): “Increased nutrient enrichment can lead to a shift in plankton community composition, which in turn can afect predator–prey relationships, further altering the transfer of nutrients (e.g., Smayda, 1989; MacIntyre et al., 2004; Irigoien et al., 2005; Mitra and Flynn, 2006; Sunda et al., 2006).”
The role of ciliates, heterotrophic dinoflagellates and copepods in structuring spring plankton communities at Helgoland Roads, North Sea (2011, background): “Bloom stabilisation of less-favoured species due to selective grazing by microzooplankton Phytoplankton blooms occur when external perturbations (improved light conditions in our study) promote improved growth conditions and open a loophole in the microbial loop (Irigoien et al. 2005).”
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.”
