Multicellular zooplankton, such as copepods, are the main link between primary producers
and fish. Most models of plankton communities, such as NPZ-type models, ignore the life …

Inorganic nutrient limitation affects the stoichiometry and nutritional quality of marine
phytoplankton. Mixoplankton, able to photosynthesize and feed simultaneously in the one …

In recent decades, there has been a growing recognition that mixotrophy, the ability to utilize
both phototrophy and phagotrophy, is more common among plankton than previously …

Copepod reproductive success largely depends on food quality, which also reflects the prey
trophic mode. As such, modelling simulations postulate a trophic enhancement to higher …

Seasonal variation in phytoplankton community structure within Tang-Pu Reservoir
(Shaoxing city, Zhejiang province, China) was investigated in relation to variation in …

Artificial reefs increase hard bottom habitat and bolster shoreline protection in coastal
waters. Reefs are rapidly colonized by biofouling communities which can potentially alter …

Mixotrophs are widely distributed in aquatic ecosystems and play critical roles in the
planktonic food web. However, how mixotrophs respond to projected ocean warming …

Here we review, synthesize, and analyse the size-based approach to model unicellular
plankton cells and communities. We first review how cell size influences processes of the …

Nutrient subsidy of methane‐oxidising bacteria (MOB), an alternative basal resource, to
plankton communities through pelagic‐benthic coupling is expected to alter carbon‐to …

Certain microalgal species can grow with different trophic strategies depending on the
availability of nutrient resources. They can use the energy from light or an organic substrate …
