Summer heatwaves promote blooms of harmful cyanobacteria (2008, background): “According to Stokes’ Law, the vertical velocity of a nonmotile phytoplankter at low Reynolds numbers is inversely proportional to the dynamic viscosity of water (Smayda, 1970; Reynolds, 2006).”
Trait-Based Community Ecology of Phytoplankton (2008, background): “Anti-grazer adaptations include overall size, morphology, extracellular mucilage, and high C:nutrient ratios (Reynolds 2006, Sterner 1989).”
Ecological niches of open ocean phytoplankton taxa (2015, methodology): “The role of body shape, and in particular elongation, as a trait determining light affinity has been demonstrated in multiple studies (Reynolds 2006; NaselliFlores et al. 2007).”
Blooms Like It Hot (2008, background): “Buoyant cyanobacteria float upward when mixing is weak and accumulate in dense surface blooms (1, 2, 7) (see the figure).”
Temperature and the size of freshwater phytoplankton (2020, background): “We, the authors, dedicate this article to the memory of Colin S. Reynolds, who has had a leading role in our personal education and understanding of phytoplankton ecology, through his seminal books (Reynolds, 1984, 1997, 2006) and hundreds of research and review articles, and personal interactions.”
Phytoplankton of the River Loire, France: a biodiversity and modelling study (2012, background): “High light in the shallow water column, rather than other factors such as temperature and nutrients, was likely the main variable that led to green algae dominance (see, e.g. Reynolds et al., 1985; Reynolds, 2006).”
From Elements to Function: Toward Unifying Ecological Stoichiometry and Trait-Based Ecology (2017, background): “When C or nutrients are taken up and fixed by autotrophs, they may be used immediately for growth or accumulate as storage pools for later use (Chapin, 1980; Reynolds, 2006).”
Body size in freshwater planktonic crustaceans: an overview of extrinsic determinants and modifying influences of biotic interactions (2011, background): “than small, as has been extensively confirmed from measurements of sinking or settling rates of phytoplankton of comparable shape (form resistance) and specific density (Reynolds, 2006).”
Quantifying phosphorus and light effects in stream algae (2009, background): “A benthic saturation threshold of 25 mg L21 SRP is almost an order of magnitude higher than the 3 mg L21 saturation threshold suggested for phytoplankton (Reynolds 2006).”
Climate change and the spring bloom: a mesocosm study on the influence of light and temperature on phytoplankton and mesozooplankton (2010, background): “In shallower, well-mixed water bodies or in systems where non-seasonal haloclines restrict mixing even in winter, the spring bloom can start before the onset of thermal stratification (Reynolds 2006, Sommer et al. 2007, Sommer & Lengfellner 2008).”
