• Scaling of feeding in marine calanoid copepods (2007, result): “6 in Web Appendix 1) fell in the lower range of values for calanoids and seem to be in agreement with the lower metabolic rates attributed to marine cyclopoids (Paffenhöfer 1993; Castellani et al. 2005).”
• Heterotrophic dinoflagellates: a significant component of microzooplankton biomass and major grazers of diatoms in the sea (2007, background): “Due to their cell size and biochemical composition, microzooplanktonic protists are often preferred food for copepods, and feeding on microzooplankton along with phytoplankton can enhance copepod fecundity (Kleppel 1993, Klein Breteler et al. 1999, Bonnet & Carlotti 2001, Castellani et al. 2005).”
• Quantification of zooplankton trophic position in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre using stable nitrogen isotopes (2009, background): “Prey targeted by Oithona spp. include small motile and sinking particles, such as flagellates, ciliates, and fecal pellets (Gonzalez and Smetacek 1994; Nielsen and Sabatini 1996; Castellani et al. 2005).”
• Plankton in the open Mediterranean Sea: a review (2009, background): “In fact, the cosmopolitan and abundantOi hona similishas very low and similar egg production rates (∼2 eggs f−1 d−1) in the North Aegean Sea (Zervoudaki et al., 2007) and in the more eutrophic North Atlantic Ocean (Castellani et al., 2005), without significant seasonal differences in either sea.”
• Acquired phototrophy in aquatic protists (2009, background): “The copepod Oithona spp. ingests ciliates (including M. rubra) and flagellates preferentially over other nano-microplankton in the spring, while during summer and winter, clearance rates are highest for Strombidium spp. and M. rubra (Castellani et al. 2005).”
