Capacity of herbivorous protists to control initiation and development of mass phytoplankton blooms (2009, background): “…herbivorous protists, including ciliates and heterotrophic dinoflagellates, regularly consume a significant fraction of phytoplankton standing stocks and biomass production in the ocean is indisputable (Strom et al. 2001, Calbet & Landry 2004, Strom et al. 2007, Calbet 2008, Landry et al. 2008).”
Intense stratification leads to phytoplankton nutrient limitation and reduced microzooplankton grazing in the southeastern Bering Sea (2008, unknown): “A large-scale bloom of coccolithophorids first appeared in 1997 (Sukhanova and Flint, 1998) and was nearly as extensive in the warm years of 1998 and 2000 (Iida et al., 2002).”
Does warming enhance the effect of microzooplankton grazing on marine phytoplankton in the ocean? (2012, background): “The decreasing trend of Bz with increasing temperature could, in turn, be a consequence of increasing top-down controls on microzooplankton (Strom et al. 2007), increasing respiratory demand and/ or elevated feeding thresholds in warmer waters (Rivkin and Legendre 2001; Buitenhuis et al. 2010).”
