Understanding cyanobacteria‐zooplankton interactions in a more eutrophic world (2014, background): “Much previous research has focussed on the negative effects on zooplankton populations of the low food quality or toxicity of cyanobacteria (Wilson et al., 2006; Tillmanns et al., 2008).”
Body size in freshwater planktonic crustaceans: an overview of extrinsic determinants and modifying influences of biotic interactions (2011, background): “…considered as low quality food items in terms of biochemical composition, especially PUFA deficiencies, as well as toxins that arise in particular strains and circumstances (de Bernardi & Giussani, 1990; Gliwicz, 1990b—although contradictory empirical evidence exists—e.g. Tillmanns et al., 2008).”
Climate change: links to global expansion of harmful cyanobacteria. (2012, background): “Tsuda and Kami (1973) observed that low light penetration and selective browsing by herbivorous fishes on macroalgae removed potential competitors and favored the establishment of unpalatable benthic cyanobacteria in tropical lagoonal environments.”
Mesozooplankton and microzooplankton grazing during cyanobacterial blooms in the western basin of Lake Erie (2012, background): “Twiss et al. (1996) reported picoplankton (0.2–2 mm) in central and eastern basins were grazed at rates between 0.13 and 0.14 d 1 by microzooplankton.”
