- Feeding by red-tide dinoflagellates on the cyanobacterium Synechococcus (2005, unknown): “…2imek 1997, Dolan & 2imek 1998, 1999, Lewitus et al. 1998, Ochs & Eddy 1998, Christaki et al. 1999, Monger et al. 1999, Rivkin et al. 1999, Cowlishaw 2000, Boenigk et al. 2001, Guillou et al. 2001, Pitta et al. 2001, Quevedo & Anadon 2001, Bettarel et al. 2002, Jochem 2003, Agawin et al. 2004).”
- Nanoflagellate predation on auto- and heterotrophic picoplankton in the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea (2001, background): “…between one and two orders of magnitude higher than that of nanoflagellates [(0.13 Synechococcus aloricate–1 h–1 and 0.41 Synechococcus tintinnid–1 h–1, (Pitta et al., 2001)], ciliate abundance was low (4–350 cells l–1) resulting in a moderate consumption of the picoautotrophs (Pitta et al., 2001).”
- Seasonal dynamics of ciliated protozoa and their potential food in an eutrophic estuary (Bay of Biscay) (2003, result): “No significant differences were observed in ciliate abundance between fixatives (ANOVA, p > 0:05) which agrees with Pitta, Giannakourou, and Christaki (2001) who obtained similar results when comparing water samples fixed with both formaldehyde and acid Lugol’s iodine solution.”
- Plankton in the open Mediterranean Sea: a review (2009, background): “Pitta et al. (2001) reported a 2-fold decrease in ciliates concentration from west to east.”
- Acquired phototrophy in aquatic protists (2009, background): “…biomass at 5 m; 21% of ciliate Dolan & Marrase (1995) biomass integrated over 0–80 m; ciliates estimated to contribute <0.5% to 20% of total chl. Open Mediterranean Sea, In late spring, 17% of integrated abundance and 18% of Pitta et al. (2001) oligotrophic, upper 200 m integrated ciliate biomass.”
