Invited Review - Fight on Plankton! or, Phytoplankton Shape and Size as Adaptive Tools to Get Ahead in the Struggle for Life (2011, background): “At high nutrient concentrations, under experimental conditions, phosphorus maximum uptake rates increase with increasing size of cells or colonies; these rates are more or less comparable once they have been normalized to the surface area of the interested cells or colonies (Reynolds, 1993b).”
Why plankton communities have no equilibrium: solutions to the paradox (2004, background): “In fact, Reynolds (1993) argues that what happens between two winters in plankton is comparable to what happened since the Weichselian glaciation period in temperate forests.”
Moving from pattern to process: Coexistence mechanisms under intermediate disturbance regimes (2004, background): “An upper bound to an intermediate regime is provided by the rate of competitive exclusion of other species in the community by the competitive dominant, or by the time to climax community in a successional sequence (Reynolds 1993).”
Seasonal patterns in plankton communities in a pluriannual time series at a coastal Mediterranean site (Gulf of Naples): an attempt to discern recurrences and trends (2004, background): “This dynamics would keep the system far from the equilibrium (Huston, 1979; Reynolds, 1993; Reynolds et al., 1993), allowing a quick alternation of different species as well as the overlapping of populations transported to the station from adjacent sites (Zingone et al., 1990).”
Grazing resistance in phytoplankton (2020, methodology): “…in freshwater phytoplankton: (1) high surface-to-volume colonist, small, fast-growing, (C) species; (2) large, low surface-to-volume, slow-growing, nutrient stresstolerant (S) species; (3) light-harvesting, disturbancetolerant ruderal (R) species (Reynolds, 1993; Smayda & Reynolds, 2001).”
Temporal changes in the phytoplankton community structure in a tropical and eutrophic reservoir (Barra Bonita, S.P.—Brazil) (2002, background): “…states that this hypothesis can represent a expression of interactions between the progressive internal movement of the community towards the organization and maintenance of an energetic steady-state, and the stochastic environmental variability imposed on biological systems (Reynolds, 1993).”
Phytoplankton community in the tropical lake of Lagoa Santa (Brazil): Conditions favoring a persistent bloom of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (2009, background): “Based on the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis (Connell 1978), Reynolds (1993) states that succession in a phytoplankton community should lead to the organization and maintenance of an energetic steady-state, but the direction of the events is deviated by stochastic environmental variability.”
