Laboratory investigations on the effect of prey size and concentration on the feeding behaviour of Sardina pilchardus (2007, unknown): “4), which allows Iberian sardines to efficiently utilize all microplankton prey that dominate plankton abundance and sometimes biomass in coastal areas (Calbet et al. 2001, Turner 2004).”
Zooplankton and the Ocean Carbon Cycle. (2017, unknown): “Copepods typically make up 70–90% of mesozooplankton abundance (Turner 2004).”
Grazer‐induced chain length plasticity reduces grazing risk in a marine diatom (2012, background): “Dominant copepod grazers are typically omnivorous (Turner 2004), and ideally any defensive mechanism should not aim to reduce grazer abundances per se because co-occurring, competing phytoplankton would benefit equally.”
Hydrodynamic control of mesozooplankton abundance and biomass in northern Svalbard waters (79–81°N) (2008, background): “Although, small copepods are important links in marine food webs, as components of the microbial loop, and as prey for ichthyoplankton (Turner, 2004), they might be underestimated by 0.”
Trophic Transfer of Microplastics From Copepods to Jellyfish in the Marine Environment (2020, background): “Since marine zooplankton are an important link between primary producing phytoplankton and higher trophic levels in food webs (Turner, 2004), more research is needed to clarify MP transfer among them.”
Lipid biomarkers reveal geographical differences in food supply to the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (Scleractinia) (2009, background): “The importance of small non-calanoid copepods in zooplankton communities has recently received increasing attention (Turner 2004).”
The importance of small-sized copepods in a frontal area of the Aegean Sea (2007, background): “The advantages of the eggcarrying species in having lower egg-mortality (Kiørboe and Sabatini, 1994), lower metabolic demands (Lampitt and Gamble, 1982) and various feeding strategies (Turner, 2004) undoubtedly contribute to maintain their prominence in the oligotrophic Aegean Sea.”
The Importance of Phytoplankton Biomolecule Availability for Secondary Production (2017, background): “webs, it is especially likely that the effect of the early-spring cryptophyte abundance can cascade up to freshly hatched fish juveniles (Kerfoot et al., 1988; Turner, 2004; Taipale et al., 2016b), and thus be reflected to the whole food web.”
Comparative trophodynamics of anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus and sardine Sardinops sagax in the southern Benguela: are species alternations between small pelagic fish trophodynamically mediated? (2006, background): “reproductive output (Turner 2004), and cyclopoids are considered as contributing to the stability of planktonic communities (Paffenhöfer 1993).”
Efficiency of a phytoplankton‐based and a bacterial‐based food web in a pelagic marine system (2007, background): “However, the dominating mesozooplankton group, the calanoid copepods, uses both mechanosensing and chemoreception when capturing food particles (Turner 2004).”
The trophic roles of microzooplankton in marine systems (2008, background): “, 2003), radiolaria (Gowing, 1989; Anderson, 1993; Matsuoka, 2007), foraminifera (Anderson, 1993), meroplanktonic larvae (Turner and Anderson, 1983), copepod nauplii (Turner, 2004), etc.”
Zooplankton and ichthyoplankton communities in a temperate estuary: spatial and temporal patterns (2006, background): “The small copepods are important links in marine food webs, serving as major grazers of phytoplankton and as prey for ichthyoplankton and other larger pelagic carnivores (Turner, 2004).”
The chemical ecology of copepods (2014, background): “They constitute the most important link between pelagic primary producers and higher trophic levels in marine food webs (Turner, 2004) and contribute to the cycling of elements in the oceans.”
Shifts in Zooplankton Community Structure: Implications for Food Web Processes in the Upper San Francisco Estuary (2011, background): “2005), owing to the low respiration rate and infrequent intermittent movement (Turner 2004).”
