The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Selective Value of Bacterial Shape (2006, background): “Another common mechanism is that used by filter-feeding protozoa, which trap bacteria by straining water through a sieving apparatus (23, 24, 150, 246).”
Interactions Between Bacteria, Protozoa and Nematodes in Soil (2012, background): “In line with Boenigk and Arndt (2000) we suggest a more narrow definition of interception feeding and restrict its use to describe the feeding process where protozoa, in particular flagellates, create a water current and directly intercept individual food particles in free suspension transported…”
Growth, feeding and ecological roles of the mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates in marine planktonic food webs (2010, background): “In general, there are 3 major feeding mechanisms of free-living protists (Boenigk and Arndt 2000; Fenchel 1987; Sleigh 1989): raptorial feeding, filter/interception feeding, and diffusion feeding.”
