Understanding cyanobacteria‐zooplankton interactions in a more eutrophic world (2014, background): “Both copepods and cladocerans are omnivores, grazing heavily on heterotrophic protists, resulting in trophic cascades between the larger crustacean grazers, the smaller microbial grazers (e.g. ciliates, flagellates) and phytoplankton (Pace et al., 1998; Zollner et al., 2003).”
Effect of zooplankton‐mediated trophic cascades on marine microbial food web components (bacteria, nanoflagellates, ciliates) (2009, background): “The effect of zooplankton on microbial food webs has been studied extensively in freshwater systems (Wickham 1998; Zöllner et al. 2003), where copepods and cladocerans may dominate the mesozooplankton.”
Biomagnification or biodilution of microcystins in aquatic foodwebs? Meta-analyses of laboratory and field studies (2012, background): “…and ciliates) can successfully graze on toxic Microcystis (Davis and Gobler, 2011), which in turn are consumed by larger predatory zooplankton (Jürgens and Jeppesen, 2000; Zöllner et al., 2003), it is reasonable to assume that the transfer of toxins by the microbial foodweb could be considerable.”
Picophytoplankton in Freshwater Ecosystems: The Importance of Small-Sized Phototrophs (2008, background): “The mesocosm experiments of Zöllner et al. (2003) showed the structuring and cascading effects of the cladoceran Daphnia hyalina × galeata and copepods (50 % Eudiaptomus spp. and 50 % copepodite stages of cyclopoid copepods) on microbial food web components.”
