Cascading predation effects of Daphnia and copepods on microbial food web components (2003, methodology): “More details on size structure and pretreatment of mesozooplankton can be found in Sommer et al. (2001, 2003b) .”
Biodiversity and ecosystem function: the consumer connection (2002, background): “In contrast, the two types of grazers together significantly depressed total algal biomass because of their complementary prey-size preferences (Sommer et al. 2001).”
Invited Review - Fight on Plankton! or, Phytoplankton Shape and Size as Adaptive Tools to Get Ahead in the Struggle for Life (2011, background): “All the cladocerans inhabiting an eutrophic lake can filter about five times the volume of that lake in one day, though filtering rates are lower in oligotrophic waters (Sommer et al., 2001).”
Spring phenological responses of marine and freshwater plankton to changing temperature and light conditions (2012, background): “Copepods have complex life histories with relatively long development times and graze selectively on larger-sized algae ([20 lm) and ciliates, which releases small-sized cells from grazing by microzooplankton (Sommer et al. 2001; Stibor et al. 2004).”
Applying ecological principles of crop cultivation in large-scale algal biomass production (2014, background): “Not surprisingly, order-of magnitude reductions in microalgal biomass have been reported both for cladoceran-dominated zooplankton in lakes, and for copepod-dominated zooplankton inmarine ecosystems [52].”
Copepoda – Cladocera – Tunicata: The role of three major mesozooplankton groups in pelagic food webs (2002, background): “Calanoid copepods will occupy trophic level 3 (HNFfeeding) to 4 (ciliate feeding) because they cannot feed on the available phytoplankton (Sommer et al. 2001a).”
Plankton food web structure in a eutrophic polymictic lake with a history of toxic cyanobacterial blooms (2006, background): “Sommer et al. (2001) reported that herbivore control of phy- toplankton biomass depends not only on the plant but also on the herbivore functional diversity.”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “…can increase primary productivity, for example, in cases where consumers previously complemented each other in consumption efficiency (Norberg 2000, Sommer et al. 2001), or where high diversity allowed the most efficient predator species to persist (Fox 2004b, Holt & Loreau 2002), a type of…”
