The ciliate-copepod link in marine ecosystems (2005, background): “…reports of copepod grazing impacts on ciliates found in the literature are highly variable, ranging from 0 to 200% of the standing stock consumed per day (Dolan 1991, Nielsen & Kiørboe 1994, Lonsdale et al. 2000, Koski et al. 2002), probably reflecting the peculiarity of the system studied.”
Temperature affects respiration rate of Oithona similis (2005, background): “…spp. more to its ability to feed on a wider size range and diversity of prey (Lampitt 1978, Uchima 1988, Gonzalez & Smetacek 1994, Roff et al. 1995, Lonsdale et al. 2000) rather than to real differences in the metabolic rates between Oithona spp. and calanoids (Sabatini & Kiørboe 1994, Nielsen &…”
Fecundity of marine planktonic copepods: global rates and patterns in relation to chlorophyll a, temperature and body weight (2004, background): “Many sac spawners examined were cyclopoids, and for 173 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 279: 161–181, 2004 many cyclopoids such as Oithona spp. omnivory can be heavily skewed towards predation on microzooplankton such as ciliates and heterotrophic flagellates (e.g. Nakamura & Turner 1997, Lonsdale et al. 2000).”
Ecology of a highly abundant, introduced cyclopoid copepod in a temperate estuary (2006, background): “…and a wide geographic range, Oithona species are predominantly raptorial omnivores (Turner 2004) preying opportunistically on ciliates, autotrophic and heterotrophic flagellates, dinoflagellates, and copepod nauplii (Lampitt & Gamble 1982, Turner 1986, Tsuda & Nemoto 1988, Lonsdale et al. 2000).”
The role of grazing in structuring Southern Ocean pelagic ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles (2004, background): “But it has since been established that copepods preferentially prey on the larger protozoa (Stoecker & Capuzzo 1990, Gifford 1991, Sanders & Wickham 1993), particularly ciliates, based on the microbial community (Atkinson 1996, Lonsdale et al. 2000).”
The Importance of Small Planktonic Copepods and Their Roles in Pelagic Marine Food Webs (2004, background): “Included are adults of the small copepod genera Acartia (Turner and Anderson 1983, Stoecker and Sanders 1985, Stoecker and Egloff 1987, Gifford and Dagg 1988), Oithona (Nakamura and Turner 1997, Lonsdale et al. 2000, Graneli and Turner 2002), and Paracalanus (Suzuki et al. 1999), and even nauplii ”

The effects of changing climate on microzooplankton grazing and community structure: drivers, predictions and knowledge gaps (2013, background): “…attention in recent years, despite considerable work on this trophic connection in marine pelagic ecosystems for more than two decades (Stoecker and Egloff, 1987; Stoecker et al., 1987; Gifford, 1988; Stoecker and Capuzzo, 1990; Gifford and Dagg, 1991; Gifford et al., 1995; Lonsdale et al., 2000).”
Trophic impact and prey selection by crustacean zooplankton on the microbial communities of an oligotrophic coastal area (NW Mediterranean Sea) (2004, background): “…very different environments and different zooplankton communities, yielded conclusions similar to ours, with daily grazing impacts on ciliate standing stocks in the order of 5% (Atkinson 1996, Atkinson et al. 1996, Lonsdale et al. 2000, Batten et al. 2001, Calbet et al. 2002b, Zeldis et al. 2002).”
