Heterotrophic dinoflagellates: a significant component of microzooplankton biomass and major grazers of diatoms in the sea (2007, background): “It has long been tacitly assumed that the community of microzooplanktonic protists is usually dominated by ciliates in terms of numbers and biomass (Ducklow 1983, Sherr & Sherr 1988, Pierce & Turner 1995, Dolan et al. 2000, Perez et al. 2000, Dolan & McKeon 2004, Vladstein et al. 2004).”
Acquired phototrophy in aquatic protists (2009, background): “Plastidic oligotrichs usually contribute <10% of total chlorophyll in the marine plankton (Stoecker et al. 1989, Putt 1990a, Dolan & Marrase 1995, Sanders 1995, Froneman & Perissinotto 1996, Perez et al. 2000, Chiang et al. 2003).”
Phytoplankton pigment variations during the transition from spring bloom to oligotrophy in the northwestern Mediterranean sea (2000, background): “This di!erence in the functioning of the two systems was con"rmed by results from microzooplankton grazing (Perez et al., 1999) as well as by the estimation of new and regenerated production.”
Planktonic ciliates in the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea: longitudinal trends of standing stocks, distributions and analysis of food vacuole contents (2001, methodology): “Cell sizes were measured with an ocular micrometer and converted into cell volumes using appropriate geometric formulae (Peuto-Moreau 1991).”
