Growth, feeding and ecological roles of the mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates in marine planktonic food webs (2010, background): “The lowest ratio was achieved by the pallium feeding HTDs because they are able to feed on prey larger than themselves (e.g. Naustvoll 2000).”

The role of ciliates, heterotrophic dinoflagellates and copepods in structuring spring plankton communities at Helgoland Roads, North Sea (2011, background): “Dinoflagellates can feed and grow on variable predator to prey size ratios between 5.2:1 and 0.15:1 (Naustvoll 2000a, b).”
High-resolution sediment trap study of organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst production and biogenic si (2011, background): “In addition, heterotrophic dinoflagellates have a variety of food sources, complicating this relationship (Naustvoll, 2000).”
