Understanding cyanobacteria‐zooplankton interactions in a more eutrophic world (2014, background): “The nature of inducible cyanobacterial defences in response to grazer infochemicals also deserves more study (Jang et al., 2007).”
Still challenging: the ecological function of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin – What we know so far (2018, background): “Then, the increased MC production and colony formation were considered as efficient inducible defensive responses of M. aeruginosa to the grazing force of herbivorous zooplankton as exposure caused death in zooplankton (Jang et al., 2003, 2007b; Rohrlack et al., 1999b).”
Food Web Paradigms: The Biochemical View on Trophic Interactions (2008, background): “Above that, infochemicals can also alter trophic interactions (e.g., VERSCHOOR et al., 2007; JANG et al., 2007).”
Induced defences in marine and freshwater phytoplankton: a review (2011, background): “Jang et al. (2003, 2007) demonstrated that several strains of the freshwater cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa increased their toxin production in response to direct and indirect exposure to large herbivorous zooplankton.”
