• The role of ciliates, heterotrophic dinoflagellates and copepods in structuring spring plankton communities at Helgoland Roads, North Sea (2011, methodology): “However, methodological restrictions do have to be taken into account (Gallegos 1989; Landry et al. 1995; Dolan et al. 2000; Moigis 2006; Teixeira and Figueiras 2009) most of which are related to the theoretical assumptions (Landry and Hassett 1982) the dilution method is based on.”
• NITROGENOUS NUTRITION OF ALEXANDRIUM CATENELLA (DINOPHYCEAE) IN CULTURES AND IN THAU LAGOON, SOUTHERN FRANCE 1 (2004, background): “The 5% dilution sample was considered to be without grazers, and this approach is satisfactory when chl a levels are high as in this bloom situation (Dolan et al. 2000).”
• Novel interactions between phytoplankton and microzooplankton: their influence on the coupling between growth and grazing rates in the sea (2002, background): “The possibility that differential growth of microzooplankton across the dilution series contributes artifactually to observations of coupled growth and grazing rates (Dolan et al., 2000) must also be considered.”
• Phytoplankton growth, microzooplankton herbivory and community structure in the southeast Bering Sea: insight into the formation and temporal persistence of an Emiliania huxleyi bloom (2002, methodology): “Dolan et al. (2000) showed apparent growth rates of tintinnids and oligotrich ciliates decreased with increasing fraction of PFW at temperatures ranging from 16.11C to 18.61C.”
• Significance of predation by protists in aquatic microbial food webs (2004, methodology): “Dolan et al. (2000) reviewed studies on microzooplankton grazing using the Landry-Hassett dilution approach during this decade, and showed that the annual number of dilution experiments increased about 10-fold during from 1992 to 1999.”
• Copepod feeding in the ocean: scaling patterns, composition of their diet and the bias of estimates due to microzooplankton grazing during incubations (2011, methodology): “Furthermore, the use of the dilution method to estimate microzooplankton grazing is not free from criticisms and uncertainties (Dolan et al., 2000; Agis et al., 2007; Modigh & Franze, 2009) and actually encompasses not only strictly defined microzooplankters (e.g. ciliates and dinoflagellates), but…”
• Protist control of phytoplankton growth in the subtropical north-east Atlantic (2001, unknown): “Despite this, the effect of dilution on grazers, particularly ciliates, could somewhat affect grazing estimates, as recently reported by Dolan et al. (2000).”
• Heterotrophic dinoflagellates: a significant component of microzooplankton biomass and major grazers of diatoms in the sea (2007, background): “It has long been tacitly assumed that the community of microzooplanktonic protists is usually dominated by ciliates in terms of numbers and biomass (Ducklow 1983, Sherr & Sherr 1988, Pierce & Turner 1995, Dolan et al. 2000, Perez et al. 2000, Dolan & McKeon 2004, Vladstein et al. 2004).”
• Feeding dynamics of Acartia spp. copepods in a large, temperate estuary (San Francisco Bay, CA) (2003, background): “Based on these results Dolan et al. (2000) suggest that there could be uncertainty in measured grazing rates from dilution experiments, and that the grazers in each experiment must be examined in order to determine any artifacts in grazing rate estimates.”
• Protistan Grazing on Marine Bacterioplankton (2008, background): “…technique, in which natural assemblages are progressively diluted with filtered seawater and the response in prey populations monitored during 12–24 hour incubations (Landry and Hassett 1982), has become very important for measuring microzooplankton herbivory in the ocean (Dolan et al. 2000).”
• Seasonal variations in the dynamics of microbial plankton communities: first estimates from experiments in the Gulf of Trieste, Northern Adriatic Sea (2003, methodology): “A number of approaches have been used to measure the grazing impact of both micro- and nano-predators on a wide range of prey, but most used the dilution method (Landry & Hasset 1982, reviewed by Dolan et al. 2000).”
