Large-sized phytoplankton sustain higher carbon-specific photosynthesis than smaller cells in a coastal eutrophic ecosystem (2005, background): “Different studies have pointed out the size dependence of light absorption and the resulting package effect (Agustí 1991, Finkel 2001, Fujiki & Taguchi 2002).”
Trait-Based Community Ecology of Phytoplankton (2008, background): “Many other ecophysiological traits, such as nutrient and light utilization and grazer resistance, are significantly correlated with cell size (Banse 1976, Finkel 2001, Litchman et al. 2007, Shuter 1978, Sterner 1989), so cell size is a master trait that shapes ecological niches of phytoplankton.”
NEW LIGHT ON THE SCALING OF METABOLIC RATE WITH THE SIZE OF ALGAE (2002, background): “To explain the low value of b for light-saturated photosynthesis, Finkel (2001) proposed an increase in the photosynthetic unit size (photosynthetic pigments per PSII reaction center) in larger cells with a larger package effect.”
Investigation and sensitivity analysis of a mechanistic phytoplankton model implemented in a new modular numerical tool (Eco3M) dedicated to biogeochemical modelling (2006, background): “Nominal value from Table 2 /C m 0.035 a (mol C) (mol quanta)� 1 Finkel (2001) ”
Scaling-up from nutrient physiology to the size-structure of phytoplankton communities (2006, unknown): “Deviations from the 3/4 size-scaling exponent have been associated with sub-optimal environmental conditions, such as extremes in temperature and irradiance (Banse, 1976; Peters, 1983a; Sommer, 1989; Finkel, 2001; Gillooly et al., 2001).”
Growth physiology and fate of diatoms in the ocean: a review (2005, background): “On the other hand, intracellular concentration Chl-a of diatoms tends to decrease with cell size, resulting in a moderation in the increase in the package effect with cell size (Finkel, 2001).”
A size-resolved pelagic ecosystem model (2007, unknown): “t T s f 1 b Finkel (2001). c Tang (1995).”
Picophytoplankton : Bottom-up and top-down controls on ecology and evolution (2005, unknown): “It is thus predicted, and observed, that the allometric coefficient b is smaller (more negative) in light-limited than in resource-saturated growth of phytoplankton organisms (Finkel & Irwin 2000, Finkel 2001, Finkel et al. 2004).”
Vertical distribution of phytoplankton biomass, production and growth in the Atlantic subtropical gyres (2006, unknown): “literature to estimate phytoplankton biovolumes and carbon content, previous field and culture studies have also reported an increase in C:Chl-a ratio with phytoplankton size (Furuya, 1990; Finkel, 2001; Arin et al., 2002).”
Biooptical characteristics of PSII and PSI in 33 species (13 pigment groups) of marine phytoplankton, and the relevance for pulse‐amplitude‐modulated and fast‐repetition‐rate fluorometry 1 (2007, result): “…et al. (1994b, 1997) found absorption coefficients reaching 0.027– 0.033 m2 Æ mg chl a)1, similar to the value of 0.03 reported by Bidigare et al. (1989) for whole cells of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. and for haptophytes, diatoms, and dinoflagellates (Morel and Bricaud 1981, Finkel 2001).”
Resource limitation alters the 3/4 size scaling of metabolic rates in phytoplankton (2004, background): “This accounts for the inverse relationship between ci and d reported for phytoplankton (Agustí 1991, Finkel 2001).”
Interpretation of fast repetition rate (FRR) fluorescence: signatures of phytoplankton community structure versus physiological state (2009, background): “Many physiological traits have a strong dependence on cell size (Geider et al. 1986, Finkel 2001, Irwin et al. 2006), which consequently appears to have experienced strong evolutionary selection pressure (Finkel et al. 2007).”
Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry (2010, background): “…(1) and likely contribute to often reported variation in the size scaling exponent reported for phytoplankton from multiple laboratory and field studies (Finkel and Irwin, 2000; Finkel, 2001; Gillooly et al., 2001; Finkel et al., 2004; Irwin et al., 2006; López-Urrutia et al., 2006; Marañón, 2008).”
Eco‐evolutionary differences in light utilization traits and distributions of freshwater phytoplankton (2011, background): “Small cells tend to have higher light absorption efficiency, because with increasing cell size and, consequently, a greater path length for light, selfshading decreases the pigment absorption efficiency, resulting in the packaging effect (Falkowski and Raven 1997; Finkel 2001; Fujiki and Taguchi 200”
